Filling out Kentucky Form TC 96-336, a limited power of attorney to transfer ownership and disclose vehicle mileage, requires careful attention to detail to ensure all sections are completed accurately.
1. Purchased Vehicle Information
Enter details about the vehicle being purchased. This field includes the year, make, model, vehicle identification number (VIN), body type, and current license plate number. You will also need to provide the odometer reading at the time of purchase.
2. Trade-In Vehicle Information
If a vehicle is being traded in as part of the transaction, fill in the same details as in Section 1 for the trade-in vehicle. This section also requires the odometer reading.
3. Vehicle Owner or Lessee Information & Statement
In this section, you need to provide the name of the vehicle owner or lessee, email address, and phone number. Also, include the street address, city, state, and ZIP code. You then appoint the attorney-in-fact by writing their full legal name and address. Confirm their authorization to apply for title certificates, disclose mileage, and transfer title.
4. Section for Odometer Certification
Mark the appropriate certification regarding the odometer reading. Two options are provided: one for when the odometer reading exceeds its mechanical limits and another for when it is inaccurate, indicating a discrepancy.
5. Notary Information & Signature
After filling out all the necessary information, the vehicle owner’s signature must be notarized. Provide the notary’s full legal name, email address, and phone number, along with their address, city, state, and ZIP code. The notary will verify the identity of the person signing the form, usually through a driver’s license. The notary will then sign and date the form and provide their commission number and expiration date.
6. Final Steps
Ensure that the form is attached to your title and registration application and forwarded to your county clerk as indicated in the instructions provided with the form. This is crucial for the document to be processed correctly and for the vehicle ownership to be legally transferred.
