In the state of Georgia, facilities that repair and store vehicles often encounter situations where a vehicle is left unclaimed for an extended period. In such scenarios, the Georgia MV-603RF form, officially known as the Abandoned Vehicle Affidavit From Repair Facility Storing Vehicle, becomes a crucial document. This form is used by authorized representatives of repair facilities to assert that a vehicle has been abandoned according to the definitions and stipulations set forth in §40-11-1, paragraph (1), of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA). It outlines a detailed procedure, starting with the repair facility's attempt to repair the vehicle, followed by the steps taken to officially declare a vehicle abandoned. This process includes notifying the Georgia Department of Revenue within seven calendar days of the vehicle being deemed abandoned and making efforts to contact the vehicle's owner, lessee, or lienholder through various means as mandated by §40-11-2 of the OCGA. When these efforts do not result in the vehicle being claimed, the form serves as an affidavit to the court, requesting the authorization to foreclose on the abandoned vehicle lien and proceed with the sale of the vehicle. The form requires detailed information about the vehicle, the storage location, the actions taken to notify interested parties, and the declaration of the vehicle's abandonment status, witnessed and validated by a notary public.
