Title, registration, and paperwork in the U.S.
Transferring a used car in the U.S. is handled at your state DMV. These are the key steps and documents.
Check the vehicle history first
Run the VIN through Carfax or AutoCheck to review accidents, title status (clean vs. salvage), and odometer records. Confirm the title is in the seller’s name with no liens. If the seller will not share the VIN, walk away.
Transfer the title and register at the DMV
Get the signed title and a bill of sale, then transfer the title and register the car at your state DMV within the required window. Some states require an emissions (smog) check or a safety inspection before registration.
Inspect the car before you pay in Atlanta
Have a trusted mechanic do a pre-purchase inspection of the engine, transmission, suspension, and brakes, and confirm the mileage is genuine. A sound car passes any inspection. Do not hand over money until the signed title is in your hands.
