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 a Chatham County Tax Commissioner’s Office, with nearby locations in Savannah, to process the transfer and put the car in your name.
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.
Absolutely. You should always have a trusted local mechanic inspect the vehicle before you buy it. Have an auto repair shop on the islands or in nearby Savannah put the car on a lift and perform a thorough check. This helps identify engine trouble, transmission issues, or worn brake components before they become your expensive problem.
Yes. Whitemarsh Island is a coastal community surrounded by saltwater and marshes. Ask your mechanic to carefully inspect the undercarriage and suspension for saltwater-induced rust and corrosion. Because the area experiences occasional hurricane and storm-surge flooding, thoroughly check the interior and engine bay for signs of water damage. Additionally, since South Carolina is just a short drive away, you may encounter sellers with out-of-state titles. If you buy a vehicle titled outside of Georgia, a law enforcement officer must complete a T-22B Certification of Inspection form to verify the VIN before you can register it locally.
