I'm obviously surprised.
I've never tried to get a title in GA with an out of state one.
I'm familiar with the VIN verification process, but I was under the impression that was only for a car with no paperwork.
In other words they don't know if the car exist or not.
I'm wondering if what you were required to do was due the car's age.
I cannot imagine why they make all people moving in from out of state with newer cars do that.
That would be a monumental task of man hours for the cops.
