Lost, damaged, or never received your Georgia title? You still have legal ways to sell. Here's how it works in 2026, based on official Georgia rules — plus the fastest way to just get a cash offer.
In Georgia, you handle titles at your County Tag Office (under the Department of Revenue). If your title is missing, here's how to fix it and sell.
Submit Form MV-1 (Motor Vehicle Title/Tag Application) with the $8 replacement fee at your County Tag Office (Form T-4 if a lien needs releasing). No notarization required. Once you have the duplicate, you sign it over to your buyer.
If you bought a car and never got the title, Georgia offers a bonded title: Form MV-1 + Form MV-46 (Certificate of Title Bond) + Form MV-46A (affidavit), with an $18 fee. The bond must be 2× the vehicle's retail value (minimum $5,000), and Georgia bonded titles run for 4 years.
