To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the original Georgia Certificate of Title. All owners listed on the front must sign as sellers. Once you have the signed document, take the title to the Wayne County Tax Commissioner’s Office, located in Jesup, to process the transfer and put the car in your name.
Yes. Wayne County features extensive timberlands, agricultural areas, and access to the Altamaha River. Many trucks and SUVs in the area see heavy use for hunting, fishing, and farming. Ask your mechanic to carefully inspect the undercarriage and suspension for heavy dirt-road wear, mud damage, and rust. Check the transmission and frame closely if the vehicle appears to have been used for frequent towing.
For a clear picture of the car's past, we recommend pulling a comprehensive vehicle history report from KarKiosk. This step is crucial for finding hidden accident history, spotting potential salvage titles, and confirming if the vehicle has a history of flood damage.
No. Georgia does not require a notary to witness title signatures for private vehicle sales. Simply signing and dating the correct sections of the title is enough to make the document legally binding for the transfer. If the car has an out-of-state title, however, you must follow the notary rules of the state that issued it.
If the seller cannot find the original title, they must apply for a replacement title (Form MV-1) from the Georgia Department of Revenue before they can legally sell the car to you. Never exchange money for a vehicle without receiving a physical, properly signed title in hand.
