The Virginia Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney is a legal form that entitles an individual agency regarding another person’s vehicle. When a vehicle owner wishes to register or transfer a vehicle, it is generally expected that they take care of it personally. For those that want to assign the power to an alternate person, the provided government form can establish the particulars to confirm the instance. The paperwork must be completed as directed with the requested information associated with the owner, attorney-in-fact, and vehicle. All identified owners must then finalize the document by endorsing it within the appropriate box(es). Presenting the paperwork will suffice as proof of powers of attorney at your local DMV office.
