What is ETR?

OUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ETR:

1. 1. What is ETR?
      ETR stands for: Electronic Title Registration. ETR allows dealerships to process title and registration paperwork electronically. ETR is a tool available to dealers to allow them to submit title applications and TAVT payments to the customer’s county tag office electronically.
   2. Are dealers required to participate in ETR?
      Yes, due to a mandate which took effect January 1, 2018, all dealers in the state of Georgia are required to participate in ETR to register a title.
   3. Are there any transactions that should not be processed through ETR? When would I need to do a New TOP only deal?
      Certain transactions are not processed through ETR. These include transactions that are exempt from TAVT, such as title applications for certain disabled veterans and non-resident service members, trucks and charter buses registering under the International Registration Plan (IRP), vehicles purchased by government entities, loaner vehicles, and vehicles titled in a dealer’s name. These transactions will continue to be processed directly through the county tag office, rather than through ETR. Contact the county tag office in the county where the buyer resides for acceptable submission methods.
