Applying for a Replacement Title
Lien/Security Interest Release
If your vehicle previously had a lien that has been released, you will need to bring a Lien Release form with an original signature (no photocopies or faxes) that has been completed by your lienholder.
If any lien or security interest has not been satisfied, an application for replacement title may still be processed, but the title will be sent to the lien or security interest holder.
Mileage
The current mileage of the vehicle is needed, or the mileage shown on the previous Georgia title will be carried over to the replacement.
Fees
A fee of $8 is required.
If there are outstanding fees such as unpaid ad valorem taxes or insurance lapse/suspension fees, those fees will be collected prior to processing an application for a replacement title.
Additional Information
Titles are mailed from the Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR) and generally received within 7-10 business days.
If you need the title the same day, you can visit the DOR office in Atlanta. Everything on the vehicle record must be current in this case.
Under normal circumstances, the information provided above is required to process an application for a replacement title. Other documentation may be required upon review of the paperwork.
Please Note: The information provided below is required to process a name change due to inheritance. Other documentation may be required upon review of paperwork at the tag office.
Non-Probated Will
If the vehicle has a Georgia title and the inheritor is not a Georgia resident, the inheritor must apply for a title in their state of residency.
For a non-probated will, if the executor of the estate is not a Georgia resident, Georgia does not require the executor to title the vehicle in their name in their state of residency prior to the Georgia resident inheriting the vehicle.
If you are a Barrow County resident and need to apply for a Georgia title on a vehicle you are inheriting and there is a non-probated will, the following are required:
Probated Will
If the court-appointed executor on the Letter of Testamentary at the time the will was probated is not a Georgia resident, the executor must apply for a title in their name in their state of residency prior to the vehicle being sold or ownership transferred to a resident of Georgia.
You can change the name on a title when the deceased vehicle owner(s) had a will that was probated, and you are named as the executor on the Letter of Testamentary. If there is more than one executor named, one of the executors can title the vehicle without requiring the signature(s) of all named executors.
If you need to apply for a Georgia title on a vehicle that you are inheriting where the will has been probated and you have been named executor, the following documents are required:
No Will
If the vehicle has a Georgia title and the inheritor is not a Georgia resident, the inheritor must apply for a title in their state of residency.
If you need to apply for a Georgia title on a vehicle that you are inheriting and there is no will, the following documents are required:
