| How Do I Check On The Status Of My Car Title In Georgia |
Buckle Up, Buttercup: It's Time to Investigate!
There are a few ways to track down your Georgia car title, depending on your level of patience (and internet connection).
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
The Online Sleuth: The Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR) offers a nifty online service called "DRIVES" (https://dor.georgia.gov/). With a little VIN magic (that's Vehicle Identification Number, for those not in the know), you can check the status of your title application. Just be sure you have your title application number or Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) handy.
Phone a Friend (or the DOR): If you're more of a chatty Cathy (or Carl), the friendly folks at the DOR are happy to help. Call their Motor Vehicle Division at 1-800-GEORGIA and they'll be your title tracking bloodhounds.
The County Caper: For those who enjoy a scenic drive (or just haven't discovered the internet yet), you can always visit your local county tag office. They might have the information you seek, but be prepared for some classic government office charm (think long lines and slightly bewildered employees).
Remember: Patience is a virtue, especially when dealing with bureaucracy. But hey, if all else fails, you can always channel your inner MacGyver and build a car title out of duct tape and hope (not recommended, but hey, we've all been there!).
