The titling, registration, and registration renewal for vehicles owned by a business must be completed by an owner or officer of the business, or by someone who has been given authority to do so by an owner or an officer.

Anyone other than an owner or an officer must provide to the Tax Commissioner’s office an Affidavit of Authority to Sign for a Company, Corporation or Partnership.  The Tax Commissioner’s office cannot perform any transactions for anyone other than an owner or officer of the company without this form completed in its entirety.

Any business wishing to title and register a vehicle must also provide a copy of its active business license and be an active entity listed with the Georgia Secretary of State.
