Gearing Up: What You'll Need
Before you valiantly charge into battle (okay, maybe it's more like filling out a form, but drama is fun!), gather your trusty supplies:
- A trusty steed (your car, duh): VIN number, make, model, year, color – basically, everything that makes your car unique (except for that funky air freshener).
- Proof of purchase (if applicable): Bill of sale, title from the previous owner – basically anything that screams, "This beauty is mine!"
- Your driver's license: You gotta prove you're qualified to captain this metal spaceship.
- A pen with ink that writes smoother than a southern drawl: Nobody likes a scratchy pen, especially not the DMV gods.
- A copy of Form MV-1: You can download it from the Georgia Department of Revenue's website [Georgia Department of Revenue Motor Vehicle Division Form MV-1 Motor Vehicle Title Application].
