The Basics

When you purchase a new or used vehicle, be sure to get a bill of sale. You'll need it to get a Georgia title and registration and to apply for a license plate. You cannot use a bill of sale to transfer the ownership without a Georgia title, unless your vehicle does not require a title.

The Bill of Sale is available in PDF format. All you need is the free Acrobat Reader software from Adobe.

The Georgia Department of Revenue offers an online, printable Bill of Sale for your convenience. You may also create your own.
