Auto Tags - Fast & Easy!

For fast convenient service, mail your tag application or you may renew your Georgia tag online through the Georgia Department of Revenue's Vehicle Registration Renewals page.

Renewals

Georgia Law requires that all auto tags be renewed within 30 days before owner’s birthdate. Renewals after the deadlines are subject to a 10% penalty on the ad valorem tax due and a 25% penalty on the tag fee.

Georgia liability insurance is required to be transmitted to the state's data base by your insurance company in order to register your vehicle. The vehicle must be covered by liability insurance at all times or a lapse in coverage penalty will apply. If you cancel the insurance, you must also cancel the registration.

New residents must register their vehicles within thirty days of establishing residency in Georgia. A Georgia Driver's License must be obtained before registering your vehicle.

All new residents who have obtained Georgia license plates during the current year should receive a renewal prebill the following year to renew the tag and pay the ad valorem taxes. If you do not receive your renewal prebill 30 days before your birthday, call (706) 821-2476 and a prebill will be mailed to you. 

Except new residents and owners of recently acquired vehicles, all vehicle owners should receive a prebill in the mail before their renewal period.

Out-of-state titles must be surrendered and transferred to Georgia titles (year models 1985 and older are not required to be titled in Georgia). If there is a lien on the vehicle and you do not have the title, we must have the current registration and name and address of the lien holder. Additionally leased vehicles require a power of attorney from the leasing company.
