Vehicle registration may be cancelled at any time. To avoid insurance suspension fines, you must cancel your registration before cancelling your vehicle’s insurance.

Registration cancellation is required if the vehicle is:

• Sold or traded
• Registered in another state
• Repossessed, wrecked, or salvaged by an insurance company,
• Rendered inoperable, stored, or parked for an extended period of time

How to Cancel Registration

Submit an Application of Voluntary Registration Cancellation (MV-18J) signed by the primary owner, with a copy of the primary owner’s valid Georgia driver’s license or Georgia ID card.
