Original Georgia License Plates issued in 1970 or before year 1970 may be

authorized for use on a vehicle with the same year model as the original, Georgia

license plate.

The law provides that an authentic historical Georgia License plate matching the

model year of a motor vehicle can be displayed on the rear of the vehicle.

However, the owner has to properly register the motor vehicle for the current

year, and must obtain a current Georgia license plate with the payment of the tag

fee and ad valorem taxes. The current Georgia license plate must be kept in the

motor vehicle at all times but need not be displayed in a manner to be visible

from outside of the vehicle.

The owner must apply to the County Tag Office by completing Form T-224

(Affidavit of Ownership) for authorization to use an authentic motor vehicle plate.

The authentic license plate issue year must be the same as the model year of the

motor vehicle.

An authentic license plate can only be transferred to another vehicle with the

same model year as the license plate year, which is purchased or acquired by

the same owner. When a vehicle is sold or transferred, the license plate remains

with the owner, not the vehicle.

The following costs are associated with this license plate: $20 tag fee and any

applicable ad valorem taxes.
