The fix for a mileage figure that came out wrong on the transfer documents. It is two affidavits on one sheet - one sworn by the seller and one by the buyer - and both halves have to be completed and separately notarised before a county tag office will look at it.
Written against T-107 (Rev 7-2020), issued under the Motor Vehicle Division, which the purchaser's half of this affidavit indemnifies. Both halves need a notary, and the two parties have often gone their separate ways by the time the error is spotted. If a mileage figure looks wrong on the assignment, deal with it before the car leaves rather than after.
Two documents, and they are not the same thing. Take the blank T-107 from the dor.georgia.gov copy so you get the revision that is current today.
This is the actual T-107, rendered from the PDF the Georgia Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Division publishes and completed end to end: letterhead, every field, and the blocks at the foot.
Vehicle identification number, year, make and model, at the head of the seller's half.
Watch out: The same VIN appears again at the head of section B. They have to match, and a transposition here is the same error the affidavit is trying to cure.
The date the vehicle was sold or transferred, and the true reading, in whole miles.
Watch out: This is the correct figure, not the wrong one. The wrong figure is on the document being fixed; this affidavit says what it should have been.
Exceed mechanical limits of the vehicle's odometer, or not the actual mileage, warning odometer discrepancy.
Watch out: Leave both empty where the reading is true and only the paperwork was wrong. Ticking not the actual mileage brands the vehicle for the rest of its life.
One wide rule, and the form will not be accepted without it.
Watch out: Be specific and be short. What the document says, what it should say, and how the difference arose - that is all a tag office is looking for.
Day, month and year, the notary's full legal name, physical address, e-mail address, telephone number, signature, seal and commission expiry.
Watch out: The seller's half is sworn on its own. The buyer's notary in section B does not cover it, even if both are done in the same room.
Vehicle identification number, year, make and model, repeated at the head of the buyer's half.
Watch out: The buyer completes their own half from scratch. A photocopy of the seller's half with a different signature on it is not two affidavits.
The date the buyer acquired the vehicle and the reading they were given.
Watch out: The buyer's date is the date acquired, which should be the same day as the seller's date sold. If the two differ, that is a second discrepancy on the same sheet.
A second, separate acknowledgement with the same details as the seller's.
Watch out: Above it sits the indemnity: the buyer agrees to indemnify the Department for any loss due to facts contrary to the affidavit. That is what they are swearing to, not just the number.
| On the form | What to put in it |
|---|---|
| A - seller's or transferor's statement of facts | Vehicle identification number, year, make and model; the date sold or transferred; the odometer reading with a printed no tenths reminder; and two tick boxes - exceed mechanical limits of the vehicle's odometer, and not the actual mileage, warning odometer discrepancy. |
| A - the two parties | The seller's full legal name and street address in the left column, the purchaser's in the right, each with street number, street name, apartment or suite, city, state and zip code. |
| A - the reason | A single wide rule, and the printed warning beside it: a reason for discrepancy must be given or this form will not be accepted. |
| A - notary | The seller signs and dates, then a full notary acknowledgement with day, month and year, the notary's full legal name, physical address, e-mail address, telephone number, signature, seal and commission expiry. |
| B - purchaser's or transferee's statement of facts | The whole block again from the buyer's side, with the date acquired instead of the date sold, and the two columns swapped so the purchaser is on the left. |
| B - the indemnity | The buyer certifies awareness of the facts in the seller's statement and agrees to indemnify the Department of Revenue and its Motor Vehicle Division for any and all losses suffered due to the existence of facts contrary to those in the affidavit. |
| B - notary | A second, separate notary acknowledgement for the buyer's signature. |
Every line here was read off T-107 (Rev 7-2020) itself — the PDF is here — and off the Georgia Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Division pages. This is plain-language help with a form, not legal advice, and where our wording and the agency's differ, theirs governs.
