The above is only correct of the truck came with a valid title at the sale.
If there was no title at the sale, and the chain of title has been broken...Georgia will NOT issue a title. If you bought the truck and it came with a VALID title...they will issue one.
Now...with that said..........If the truck was last titled in the name of the person you bought it from and he has just lost the title......as long as you have NOT registered it in your name yet the truck is legally still his in the computer and he can apply for a duplicate title and then send it to you.
As long as the LAST legal owner of the truck had a title...that person can apply for a duplicate. If the person you bought it from did not title it but put tags on it in his name....the title issue id DONE and there will not be another one issued in GA.........
Now...there are several solutions and a few non legal ones have been mentioned above....
the title companies DO NOT do Georgia last time I checked....BUT..the easiest, quickest and only legal way to do what you want if the chain of title has been broken is to sell the truck to a friend, family member or trusted board member in another state that does do titles (South Carolina) and once the S.C. title has been issued buy it back. South Carolina will issue a title on a Georgia Bill of sale, sale, and you dont even have to have proof of insurance to register it in S.C. You now have a titled truck. Its done every day and its legal!!!
