What Georgia law says

Selling a vehicle: bill of sale and title	In a private (casual) sale, the seller completes and signs the assignment on the back of the original title, and both buyer and seller sign it; the seller also cancels the registration. A bill of sale is required only for a 1985 or older vehicle that does not need a title. The buyer must title and register the vehicle within 7 days of the purchase date at the County Tag Office using Form MV-1 (Title/Tag Application). The Department of Revenue pages do not mention notarization. Seller registration cancellation can be done online or with Form MV-18J (https://dor.georgia.gov/responsibilities-sellers-and-buyers). Giving or accepting a title assigned without the buyer's name is a misdemeanor, per the DOR page. Fees include an $18 title fee and Title Ad Valorem Tax.
