To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the Georgia Certificate of Title. You and the seller must fill out the assignment section completely. Once you have the assigned title, take it to the Chattooga County Tax Commissioner's Office in Summerville. You will also need a completed Form MV-1 (Title/Tag Application), your valid Georgia driver's license, and proof of active auto insurance.
In Georgia, the license plate stays with the seller. Plates are registered to the individual, not the vehicle. The seller must remove their plate and cancel their registration before you take possession of the car. Never drive the car with the seller's plates on it.
Georgia law gives you seven days from the date of purchase to register a vehicle bought in a private sale. To drive your newly purchased car home legally without a license plate, you must carry the properly assigned title, a dated Bill of Sale, and proof of active Georgia liability insurance inside the vehicle at all times.
Always prioritize safety by meeting in a public, well-lit area during the day. Good options in Summerville include:
1. The public parking area of the Summerville Police Department or the Chattooga County Sheriff's Office.
2. A busy shopping area like the Walmart Supercenter or Ingles Market parking lot during regular business hours.
3. A well-lit, active gas station along Highway 27.
No. The person whose name appears on the title as the owner must be the one to sign it and present their photo ID. If the title lists two names separated by "AND," both owners must sign the title. Dealing directly with the legal owner prevents fraud and ensures a valid transfer.
