Notarized Release Required Before Pickup
The Atlanta VPC requires a notarized release form from the vehicle owner authorizing the driver making pickup. This must be arranged before scheduling and is your responsibility to prepare. Allow 1–3 business days for scheduling after the release is in place. We walk you through exactly what’s needed below.
The Process

How VPC Pickup & Transport Works

Follow these steps in order. The notarized release is the most common source of delay — get that handled first and everything else moves quickly.

1
Contact the Atlanta VPC to confirm your vehicle has arrived
Before anything else, call the VPC directly to confirm your vehicle is on site and ready for release. Have your order number and military ID information ready.

Address: 2579 Campbell Blvd, Ellenwood, GA 30294
2
Prepare your notarized release form
The VPC requires a notarized release authorizing the specific driver who will be picking up your vehicle. This form must be completed and notarized by you — the registered vehicle owner — before the carrier can take possession.

The release must include the full legal name of the driver making pickup, your signature notarized by a commissioned notary public, and your vehicle information (year, make, model, VIN).
Where to get notarized: Most UPS stores, banks, and military legal assistance offices offer notary services. If you’re at your duty station, your JAG office or base legal office can typically assist at no cost.

Contact us to schedule your transport
Once you have your notarized release ready, reach out to us to schedule pickup from the VPC. We coordinate directly with the carrier and the VPC on your behalf. Plan for 1–3 business days of lead time from when you contact us to when the carrier can be dispatched.

Call or email us: (678) 559-0076 · hello@autoshippingnearme.com
Have ready when you call: Your delivery address, preferred pickup window, vehicle year/make/model, and confirmation that the notarized release is complete.

Carrier picks up from the VPC
On the scheduled pickup day, our carrier will arrive at the Atlanta VPC with the driver listed on your notarized release. The VPC will verify the release, inspect the vehicle, and release it to the carrier. A condition report is completed at pickup — keep a copy for your records.
Important: The driver named on the notarized release must be the exact driver who shows up. The VPC will not release the vehicle to anyone not listed on the form.
5
Vehicle is delivered to your residence or duty station
After pickup your vehicle is transported door-to-door to your delivery address. Transit time depends on your destination — we’ll give you an estimated delivery window when we schedule. You’ll be updated throughout and can reach us anytime at (678) 559-0076.

Common Questions

Atlanta VPC FAQ

What is a VPC and why does my vehicle go there?
A Vehicle Processing Center (VPC) is a government-contracted facility that processes privately owned vehicles (POVs) shipped by the military during PCS moves. When you ship your vehicle through the military’s transportation system, it is delivered to the VPC nearest your gaining duty station rather than directly to your address. From there, you — or an authorized carrier — must arrange final transport or pickup.
Can I pick up my vehicle from the VPC myself instead of using a carrier?
Yes. If you’re local to the Atlanta area or can arrange transportation to Ellenwood, GA, you can pick the vehicle up yourself. You’ll still need to bring your military ID, vehicle registration, and any required release documentation. Call the VPC at (404) 425-9177 to confirm their current hours and any documentation requirements before you go.
Why does the notarized release need to name the specific driver?
The VPC is releasing a federally processed vehicle to a third party on your behalf. To protect against unauthorized vehicle releases, they require a notarized document from the owner that specifically identifies who is authorized to take possession. The carrier driver’s name must match exactly — the VPC will turn away any driver not listed on the release form.
How far in advance should I start this process?
We recommend starting as soon as you know your vehicle has been shipped and you have a destination address. Getting the notarized release completed takes time — finding a notary, preparing the document, and sending it can take a day or two on its own. Once the release is ready, allow 1–3 business days for us to schedule the carrier. Starting early prevents delays, especially during peak PCS season in summer.
Does the vehicle need to be in running condition for transport from the VPC?
Most standard transport requires the vehicle to be operable — able to drive on and off the carrier. If your vehicle was damaged during the military shipping process, document it carefully at the VPC before release and file a damage claim through the appropriate military channel. Let us know the condition of the vehicle when you call so we can arrange the right equipment.
Do you offer door-to-door delivery from the VPC to any state?
Yes. We transport vehicles from the Atlanta VPC to any destination in the continental United States. Whether you’re heading to your new duty station, your home of record, or a family member’s address, we can arrange transport. Call us at (678) 559-0076 or email hello@autoshippingnearme.com to get started.
