This is a limited / specific power of attorney which is valid only for the purposes stated and the vehicle specified.

You can also state a specified time period for which the POA will be valid, after which it automatically becomes null and void with no need to issue a revocation.

Our template provides a space for your list of transactions that you could grant authority for depending on your jurisdiction. For example:

  • Registration of a Vehicle
  • Transfer of Title
  • Recording of Lien
  • Odometer Disclosure Statement -
  • Vehicle Information Request
  • Request Replacement or a Duplicate Certificate
    etc.

For transactions involving a motorcycle, boat or trailer, simply edit the description of the vehicle to suit.

It is also easy to edit this form to create a specific power of attorney for other purposes by deleting or changing the vehicle details and description of transactions or visit our main Power of Attorney page for more free templates.

Note:

* It may be a legal requirement in your jurisdiction to have the form signed in the presence of a Notary Public or Commissioner of Oaths and it may also require the signature of a Certified Technician.

* This special power of attorney form does not empower an agent to buy or sell a vehicle on your behalf. If you wish to empower your agent to do those transactions, then please refer to our Auto Power of Attorney for your free template.

* A printable odometer disclosure statement and car sales agreement are also available or you can download them as PDF or Word documents.

In the section for the Notary Public on the special power of attorney form above, he/she will specify which document e.g. passport, driver's licence etc. was used for verification of identity.

In some countries you may need to prove identity (passport, birth certificate, driving licence) as well as proof of residence (utility bill, bank statement).

Note: If you are a tenant and do not have a utility bill in your name or recent bank statement for your current address, you could make use of our Affidavit of Residence to prove residency.

To review the legal requirements in your jurisdiction for motor vehicle transactions, follow this link for quick navigation to your area specific Department of Motor Vehicle Registration page.

If the vehicle is owned by a company or other legal entity, then you need to supply the relevant registration information on your document.
