The Nebraska motor vehicle power of attorney allows an individual, referred to as the “principal,” to appoint another person, known as the “agent” or “attorney-in-fact,” to handle matters related to motor vehicles on their behalf. This legal instrument is governed by specific sections of the Nebraska Revised Statutes, ensuring the process is clear and legally binding.

Using a power of attorney template is crucial for various situations, including when the principal cannot be physically present to manage vehicle-related transactions, such as selling a vehicle, applying for a duplicate title, or registering with the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
The principal (the vehicle owner) must sign the POA in the presence of a notary public or a designated county official. This verifies the signer’s identity and ensures that the signing was done voluntarily. If there are multiple owners of the vehicle or motorboat, each owner must sign the POA in the notary’s presence.

Follow these detailed instructions to correctly complete the Nebraska DMV power of attorney form for vehicle or motorboat transactions.
1. Filling Out the Principal’s Information
Begin by entering your full name in the designated section. This is the name of the vehicle or motorboat owner granting the power of attorney. Make sure to print your name clearly to avoid any confusion or errors.
2. Designating the Attorney-in-Fact
In the space provided, write the full name of the person you appoint as your attorney-in-fact. This individual will be authorized to act on your behalf for the purposes outlined in the form. Ensure that the name is printed legibly.
3. Describing the Vehicle or Motorboat
Next, provide detailed information about the vehicle or motorboat. This includes the year, make, and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for vehicles or the Hull Identification Number (HIN) for motorboats. This section ensures the POA is specific to a particular vehicle or motorboat.
4. Granting Authority
A statement in the form grants your attorney-in-fact full authority to sign all necessary papers and documents related to the vehicle or motorboat. This statement should be reviewed carefully to understand the extent of the powers being granted.
5. Signature and Date
Print your name again in the spaces provided under the “Name (Please Print)” section. Then, sign and date the form where indicated. This signature confirms that you voluntarily grant the powers described in the document.
6. Notarization
The form requires notarization to be legally binding. Complete the section at the bottom of the form that asks for the state and county. Present the form to a notary public or designated county official. The notary will witness and acknowledge your signature in the space provided, adding their signature and seal. If there are multiple owners, each must sign and notarize their section separately.
