Register a Recently-Purchased Vehicle from a Dealership
In most cases when you purchase a vehicle from a dealership, the dealer will submit the necessary documents to apply for your title. The title application must be processed prior to the registration being issued or at the same time the registration is issued. The Dealership will provide you with a printed Temporary Operating Permit, that is valid for 45 days from purchase date.
​
After the title application has been processed the dealer will send you a copy of the title receipt and you will need to visit a Oglethorpe County Tag Office to register your vehicle.
​
If you have not received a copy of the title receipt and it has been at least 25 days since the date of your purchase, contact the dealer to determine the status of your title application.
​
Note: Under normal circumstances, the information provided below is required to register a vehicle. Other documentation may be required upon review of the paperwork.
