First Things First: Are You the Right Romeo to This Juliet (of a Car)?
This guide is primarily for those who've recently acquired a car, either through a heroic purchase or a generous gift from your sugar daddy (we won't judge). If your car title is just chilling in a drawer somewhere, feel free to skip to the "Lost Love? No Worries!" section.

Gearing Up for the Title Tango: Documents You'll Need
Now, you wouldn't show up to a hoedown without your dancing shoes, would you? Here's what you'll need to snag that title:
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.
- Your trusty steed's previous title: Make sure it's signed by the seller, just like a proper autograph after a winning touchdown.
- A completed Motor Vehicle Title/Tag Application (Form MV-1): You can find this online or at your local County Tag Office. Think of it as your ticket to the title game.
- Proof you're, well, you: A valid Georgia driver's license or ID will do the trick.
- Proof of car insurance: Because a safe driver is a happy driver (and a legal one too).
- Bill of sale (if applicable): This is basically a receipt for your car, so the state knows you didn't just, you know, borrow it.
Don't forget the fee: It's a small price to pay for car title glory. Check with your County Tag Office for the exact amount.
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
The Big Day: Where to Take Your Title Tango
