Georgia Lost Title Affidavit (2026)
To replace a lost vehicle title in Georgia, you file Department of Revenue Form MV-1 (Title/Tag Application), plus Form T-4 if a paid lien is still on record (T-216 if the title was lost in the mail). DoneDoc’s lost title affidavit is a supporting sworn statement (how the title was lost, ownership, liens) plus a guide to that form — it does not replace it.
