The serial plate on my vehicle is missing or is
damaged. How can I obtain a replacement?
You should apply for a replacement serial plate by submitting the
following to this Department's Salvage Unit of the Motor Vehicle
Division, together:
- A completed MV-1
application - typed or printed in blue or black ink electronically
or legibly by-hand in the owner(s)' full legal name(s) and signed.
If jointly owned, each owner must sign. A natural person's full
legal name would be his or her complete name as it appears on
his or her valid Georgia driver's license or state-issued identification
card. For natural persons, enter each owner(s)' valid Georgia
driver's license number or Georgia identification card number
in the spaces provided on this application.
- Original valid Certificate of Origin or Title, issued in the
applicant(s)' name(s) or properly assigned to the applicant(s)
using their full legal name(s).
- The damaged serial plate, if applicable.
- A completed T-128
Missing Serial Plate Affidavit - typed or printed in blue
or black ink in your full legal name(s) and signed. If jointly
owned, each owner must sign. Please enter the missing or altered
serial plate number on this form in the space provided. Your signature(s)
on this form must be notarized. In addition to his or her signature,
the notary public must affix his or her seal and stamp and the
date his or her notary commission expires.
- Pay all fees due with cash, check or money order payable to
the Department of Revenue: $18.00 title fee plus
any other title penalties that may be due. Please do not send
cash through the mail! A $10.00 title penalty is due if the owner(s)
fail to apply for a Georgia title in their name(s) for this vehicle
(when a Georgia title is required) within ninety-days (90) of
the vehicle's purchase or acquisition date.
- Upon receipt of the above listed documents properly completed
and the applicable fees, the Motor Vehicle Divisionof
the Department of Revenue will issue a replacement
serial plate to the vehicle's owner(s) and a partially
completed T-22 form. The serial plate should be affixed to
your vehicle with rivets. Once the serial plate has been affixed,
you should have a Georgia law enforcement officer or your county
Tax Commissioner or his or her designee complete and sign the
T-22 form certifying that the replacement serial plate has been
properly affixed to your vehicle. You should return the completed
T-22 form to the Salvage Unit of the Motor Vehicle Division
of the Department of Revenue for the issuance of
a new title.
