The expiration date is the birthday of the first person listed on the title.

Renew On Time

Not receiving a renewal notice does not relieve the registered owner from the obligation to renew the vehicle’s registration by the due date. Penalties will not be waived because the owner did not receive a renewal notice. Contact us at tagoffice@hallcounty.org or 770.531.6950 for a copy of the renewal notice or to receive total amount due.

To ensure timely processing and to avoid penalties, carefully read the renewal notice and the enclosed insert for instructions and additional information. If a renewal is submitted without all the required information, it will be returned to the owner and tax/tag penalties will be applied.

Any paperwork, license plates or renewal decals processed in a Hall tag office can only be returned to the registered owner of the vehicle or a family member with valid government-issued identification showing the same last name and/or same address as the registered owner or granted power of attorney.

To ensure you receive your annual renewal notice, GO GREEN and receive your notice electronically into your email inbox.

Transfer a Tag

You may be able to transfer your valid Georgia tag from a vehicle you no longer own to a newly-purchased or newly-acquired vehicle. This must be done at the county in which you physically reside.

The following are required to transfer a tag:

  • The title must be applied for on the new vehicle.
  • The first owner listed on the title must be the same for both vehicles unless the tag being transferred is a specialty or prestige tag. If it is a specialty or prestige tag and the first registered owner is not the same, the tag must be relinquished. Complete a relinquishment form and submit at the time of transfer.
  • Current Georgia certificate of registration for the tag being transferred.
  • Valid Georgia Insurance coverage
  • Valid Georgia driver’s license or Georgia ID card reflecting the current Hall County address.
  • FEES:$5 tag transfer fee (if the tag is current)

OR

  • $20 tag fee (plus special tag fees, if applicable) when transferring your plate during your registration period

AND

  • Ad valorem tax, if applicable

Please Note: Not all tags are transferable. To transfer a tag, both vehicles must require the same tag classification. For example, you cannot transfer a tag from your trailer to your car. If you are unsure, whether or not your tag can be transferred to your new vehicle you may contact our office at 770.531.6950.

Any paperwork, license plates or renewal decals processed in a Hall County Tag office can only be returned to the registered owner of the vehicle or a family member with valid government-issued identification showing the same last name and/or same address as the registered owner.
