Georgia License Plates & Placards

Vehicles in Georgia must be registered and have license plates issued by the Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR) county tag offices in order to drive them legally on public roads.

You have 30 days from the purchase or transfer date to register and obtain a license plate or to transfer your existing Georgia license plate from a vehicle you no longer own, to the new vehicle. To be able to transfer the license plate, both vehicles must require the same category license plate.

All lost or stolen license plates and/or decals should be reported to law enforcement. Replacement license plates can be applied for at your County Tag Office.

Titling Requirements and Procedure in Georgia

Georgia law requires that motor vehicle operated on the roads and highways in the State of Georgia be titled and registered with the GA Motor Vehicle Division (MVD). Registrations are handled in the county where the vehicle owner resides. Registration and titling procedure is completed at the same time.

Georgia residents have seven days from the date of purchase to register their vehicle at the County Tag Office where the owner lives. New residents must register their vehicle within 30 days of establishing residency in the state.

When purchasing a new or used car from a dealership, the owner will be required to complete the registration process since only the application for vehicle’s title will be handled by the dealership.
