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.
