Georgia car bill of sale template

In Georgia the title does the heavy lifting. A bill of sale supports it as proof of the sale, and Georgia has its own form for that, T-7.

What Georgia asks for
  • To sell a vehicle, gather the title and proof of sale, such as a Bill of Sale (Form T-7).
  • Complete the form on the back of the title: the purchaser's full legal name as it appears on their driver's license or ID, their current address and the date of sale.
  • Give the title to the new owner. Keep a copy of the transfer, including the title and any bill of sale.
  • Georgia's own Form T-7 says a bill of sale is not accepted to transfer ownership when a Georgia title is required. The title is what transfers the vehicle.

Use this page for your own record of the sale. The signed title is the paper that transfers the car.

In Georgia the title does the heavy lifting. A bill of sale supports it as proof of the sale, and Georgia has its own form for that, T-7.

What it is

This is a general bill of sale for a car, light truck or van sold in Georgia. The Department of Revenue lists a bill of sale, such as Form T-7, as proof of sale to gather along with the title. Georgia's T-7 says a bill of sale is not accepted to transfer ownership when a Georgia title is required, so the signed title is what moves the car from one owner to the next.

What to include

  • The date of the sale and the city or county in Georgia where it took place.
  • The full legal names and addresses of the seller and the buyer, written the way they appear on each person's ID.
  • The year, make, model, body style and color of the car, so there is no doubt about which vehicle changed hands.
  • The full 17-character VIN, copied from the title and checked against the plate on the dashboard or door frame.
  • The odometer reading on the day of the sale and whether it shows the actual mileage.
  • The sale price, how it was paid and whether it was paid in full on the day.
  • Whether the car is sold as-is or with a warranty, and whether any loan or lien is still owed on it.
  • Signatures and dates from both people, plus a notary block if your county or the buyer asks for one.

How to fill it in

  1. Ask the buyer for the name on their driver's license or ID, and use it exactly.
  2. Enter the sale date and the price.
  3. Fill in both people's details.
  4. Copy the VIN from the title.
  5. Enter the odometer reading and check the helper.
  6. Choose as is or a warranty, and answer the lien question.
  7. Check the preview, download the file, print two copies and sign both.
  8. On the back of the title, write the buyer's full legal name, current address and the date of sale.
  9. Give the title to the buyer and keep copies.

Common mistakes

  • Using a nickname instead of the buyer's full legal name on the title.
  • Treating the bill of sale as a replacement for the title.
  • Leaving the date of sale off the title.
  • Not keeping copies of the title and the bill of sale.
  • Getting one character of the VIN wrong.
