Georgia

When moving from Michigan to Georgia, you must register your vehicle within 30 days of establishing residency. You must also transfer your driver's license within 30 days. Plan to visit the Georgia DMV promptly after your move.

Registering your vehicle in Georgia costs $20. Title transfer fee is $18 (title transfer is required). Vehicle sales/use tax is 6.6% TAVT (title ad valorem tax). Budget for these costs before your move.

Georgia requires emissions testing: 13 metro Atlanta counties. No recurring safety inspection is required. Check if your specific county requires testing.

Georgia requires minimum liability insurance of 25/50/25 (bodily injury per person / per accident / property damage, in thousands). Your current Michigan minimums are 50/100/10. You must update your insurance to meet Georgia requirements before registering.

Georgia requires both front and rear plates (Michigan requires rear only). Surrender out-of-state plates; new GA plates issued. You will need to surrender your Michigan plates and obtain new Georgia plates.
