Registering Your Motorcycle in Georgia

In order to register your motorcycle or scooter at your local Georgia Motor Vehicle Division (GA MVD), you first obtain a Georgia drivers license. In addition to your drivers license, the following documents are required:

  • Completed Tag/Title Application.
  • Vehicle title, certificate of origin from the manufacturer, or registration papers proving ownership.
  • Proof of insurance.
  • Proof of Georgia residency, such as a pay stub, telephone bill, or signed letterhead from your employer.
  • Completed Certificate of Inspection from a law enforcement officer or tag agent.
Required fees include the:

  • $20 registration/tag fee.
  • $18 title fee.
  • Ad valorem tax.
  • Sales tax.
  • Additional fees of up to $10 for late registration.
All these motorcycle riding fees are payable by check, cash, or money order to your local Tax Commissioner’s Office.

Motorcycle Registration Periods

Motorcycles must be registered in the county you legally reside in.

In counties offering year-round vehicle registration, you must register your motorcycle within the 30-day period prior to your birthday. Counties with staggered registration periods, such as Talbot County, adhere to the following timeline:

  • If your birthday falls in January, February, or March, you must register your motorcycle in January.
  • If your birthday falls in April, May, or June, you must register in February.
  • Those with birthdays in July, August, or September must register in March
  • Those with birthdays in October, November, and December must register in April.
Staggered registration periods end at midnight on the last day of every month. Year-round registration periods end at midnight on your legal birthday.

Mopeds and Other Bikes Exempt from Motorcycle Registration


Remember, you must register motorcycles and scooters, but a bike like a moped does not require registration.
