While Georgia doesn't require emissions testing in all counties, you may need an emissions inspection certificate if you live in the Atlanta metro area or certain other counties. Vehicles exempt from this requirement include electric vehicles, diesel vehicles, and vehicles older than 25 years. You can visit the Georgia Clean Air Force website to check if your car requires testing.

Junking Your Car? You’ll Need:

• Junk Receipt

Special Circumstances and Forms

For most private car sales, the title, bill of sale, and odometer disclosure will suffice. However, if you find yourself in a unique situation, you may need additional forms:

• Power of Attorney: If someone else is completing the sale on your behalf.
• Affidavit of Inheritance: If the car belonged to a deceased family member.
• Application for Replacement Title (Form MV-1): If your car title is lost or damaged.

Gathering the right documents ensures a smooth sale and helps you avoid legal issues later on. Whether you sell your car privately or through a dealership, knowing the process will help you navigate selling your car in Georgia with ease.
