A Georgia affidavit form is a written statement sworn under oath. FormsPal lists Forms T-227, T-16 and DOL-1054A, plus a builder for a general affidavit. Vehicle owners, repossessors, applicants and people stating facts use them, especially for title paperwork.

Georgia official affidavit forms on this page are the Applicant Status Affidavit (DOL-1054A), the One and the Same Affidavit (Form T-227) and the Affidavit of Repossession (Form T-16). Each form has a different purpose, so compare them here before you start.
| Form | Used for | Details it asks for |
|---|---|---|
| Applicant Status Affidavit (DOL-1054A) | Stating an applicant’s citizenship or residency status | Name, location, date of birth, social security number and citizenship or residency status |
| One and the Same Affidavit (Form T-227) | Certifying that two names on vehicle title paperwork belong to one person or company | Vehicle year, make and identification number, both names, and the signer’s signature, driver’s license number and address |
| Affidavit of Repossession (Form T-16) | Certifying that a motor vehicle was repossessed over an unmet lien or security interest | Owner, lienholder and vehicle details, including the identification number, the current title number and the date of repossession |
Georgia Applicant Status Affidavit (DOL-1054A) asks an applicant to state their citizenship or residency status. The affidavit asks for the applicant’s name, location, date of birth, and social security number. It also asks whether the applicant is a citizen of the United States or a permanent resident.
Georgia One and the Same Affidavit (Form T-227) certifies that two names on vehicle title paperwork belong to the same person or company. It covers differences in a legal name, a signature or a title assignment. The signer also promises to cover losses if the affidavit proves false.
Georgia Affidavit of Repossession (Form T-16) is the form a repossessor uses to certify that a motor vehicle was repossessed. It asks for the owner, the lienholder or security interest holder, and the vehicle’s identification number, year, make, model and current title number.
The Georgia One and the Same Affidavit (Form T-227), which many people search for as the “one in the same form”, certifies that two names on vehicle title paperwork belong to one person or company. People use it to explain a difference in a legal name, a signature or a title assignment, such as a first name, a middle name or initials.
The form’s own Form Use box sets out where it fits and where it does not:
That last line matters if you changed your name: Form T-227 explains a mismatch on title paperwork, and it does not prove the change itself.
Form T-227 asks for the vehicle, the two names and the person signing, and everything except the signatures goes in by computer, by typewriter or in legible hand printing.
Read the promise in the middle of the form before you sign. You agree to cover the losses and costs of the State of Georgia, the Department of Revenue Motor Vehicle Division, their agents, the vehicle’s owners and its lien holders if the affidavit is shown to be false, fraudulent, incorrect, misleading or erroneous.
The Applicant Status Affidavit (DOL-1054A) is the citizenship status affidavit listed on this page: it asks whether the applicant is a citizen of the United States or a permanent resident.
We could not confirm from the form or its issuing office whether it also counts as a SAVE affidavit, so ask the office that requested the affidavit which form it takes. A citizenship or SAVE affidavit under any other name is not among the forms on this page, and this page states no rule about either one because our legal sources for it do not cover them.
That office’s form decides what you fill in, so an affidavit from our builder is no stand-in unless the office says it is. Have these details ready when you ask:
If the request names the Applicant Status Affidavit (DOL-1054A), open its FormsPal page and fill it in there.
The Georgia Affidavit of Repossession (Form T-16), which some people search for as the repo affidavit, certifies that a motor vehicle was repossessed because its owner failed to settle a lien or security interest. The Georgia Department of Revenue Motor Vehicle Division issues the form, and a repossessor’s authorized agent signs it.
Take care with your pen, because the form prints this warning at the top: “Any correction or alteration will void this affidavit.” Its first lines also say what to bring, where to bring it and what you pay, so read those lines before you go.
Under O.C.G.A. § 8-2-181, except as otherwise provided in its subpart, a manufactured home becomes real property if two conditions are both met, and one of them is a Certificate of Permanent Location that the home’s owner executes and files.
The other condition under O.C.G.A. § 8-2-181 is that the home is or is to be permanently affixed on real property and one or more persons with an ownership interest in the home also has an ownership interest in that real property.
The passage we rely on calls this document a certificate, not an affidavit, and O.C.G.A. § 8-2-181 says it shall be in a form prescribed by the commissioner. The general affidavit builder on this page does not produce that certificate.
| Topic | What the section says | Citation |
|---|---|---|
| When a manufactured home becomes real property | Except as otherwise provided in the subpart, when the home is or is to be permanently affixed on real property, one or more persons with an ownership interest in the home also has an ownership interest in that real property, and the owner of the home executes and files the certificate | O.C.G.A. § 8-2-181 |
| Who files it | The owner of the home executes and files the certificate | O.C.G.A. § 8-2-181 |
| Where it is filed | In the real estate records of the county where the real property is located, and with the commissioner | O.C.G.A. § 8-2-181 |
| The people named in it | The name and address of the owner of the home, and the names and addresses of the holders of any security interest in and of any lien upon the home | O.C.G.A. § 8-2-181 |
| The home and the land | The title number assigned to the home, and a description of the real estate, including the name of its owner and a reference by deed book and page number to the chain of title | O.C.G.A. § 8-2-181 |
| Anything else | Any other data the commissioner prescribes | O.C.G.A. § 8-2-181 |
A general Georgia affidavit from FormsPal starts with the Create My Document button at the top of this page and ends with a document you can download and print. Use it when no office has named a specific form for the facts you want to state.
Gather the details below before you open the online form, so you can answer each question without stopping to look things up.
These steps take a general Georgia affidavit from the first question to a printed copy, and you can save your progress and come back at any time.

A Georgia affidavit states the facts you know firsthand, written as short, plain sentences with names, dates and addresses spelled the same way throughout.
Example of a fact written this way: “My name is Jane Sample. I live at 100 Sample Road, Atlanta, Georgia. I have known John Sample since March 2010.”
Forms T-227 and T-16 each end with a block that reads “Sworn to and subscribed before me”, so leave the signature line blank until you are in front of the official that block names.
This page gives no general Georgia rule on signing or oaths, because our legal sources for it hold none. For any other affidavit, read its signature section and ask the office receiving it how it wants the document signed.
You can find official Georgia affidavit forms on this page, each with its own FormsPal page, and a general affidavit builder under the Create My Document button.
Yes, you can create a Georgia affidavit online: click Create My Document, answer a few questions, then save, download and print your affidavit.
Use the official form whenever an office names one, because a general affidavit does not carry the fields that form asks for. A general affidavit suits a plain statement of facts when no specific form has been named.
The Georgia Applicant Status Affidavit (DOL-1054A) is a form that asks for the applicant’s name, location, date of birth and social security number, and whether the applicant is a citizen of the United States or a permanent resident.
No, FormsPal lists no Georgia family affidavit form on this page, so ask the office that requested the affidavit which form it takes. If that office accepts a general affidavit, you can build one above.
Read your affidavit once from start to finish, and make sure every name, date and address matches your ID. Fix any typos before you print.
Sources: the Georgia rules on this page come from O.C.G.A. § 8-2-181. The details of Forms T-227 and T-16 come from the forms as printed.
