Registration Renewal
Your registration expires on your birthday. If the vehicle is registered under a business name, the registration period falls on the last day of month, based on the name of your business.
Here’s what we’ll need from you to renew your tag.
Renewal notice or copy of last registration
Proof of insurance (must be uploaded in Georgia’s system or fleet insurance card)
Proof of Emissions (if vehicle is 3 years or older; over 8500 lbs; & in emission county)

Copy of your registration

Ownership transfer if purchased locally, out of state or from an individual
If you have purchased your vehicle from an individual, no sales tax is due. If purchased from a local dealer, the sales tax will be paid by the dealer. If purchased from out of state dealer or from a business, sales tax is due at the time of registration. If you require the title in hand, we can process the title at the GA Dept. of Revenue office. Otherwise, we will process the tag and title at your county and the title will be mailed to you or your lien-holder.
