Principal and agent
In the opening paragraph on page 1, enter your full name and current address, then the same details for your agent. Include the address, city/state, zip code, and telephone number where indicated. If the vehicle is owned jointly, both owners must be listed.
The motor vehicle
Under “involving the following motor vehicle,” enter Make, Model, Year, VIN Number and Odometer. This information must be accurate and match the details on the vehicle’s title and registration documents. Use Other Identifying Characteristics for anything else that describes the vehicle.
Social Security Number/Tax ID Number and date of birth
Write your Social Security Number or Tax ID Number and your date of birth on the two lines below the paragraph that lists your agent’s powers. The effective date statement under them is already printed.
Successor attorney-in-fact
On page 2, repeat your agent’s name in the first blank. Then add the alternate agent’s details.
Date, signature and printed name
Fill in the day, month and year on the “Signed this” line. Each owner must print their name, sign, and date next to their printed name. Ensure that the signatures match those on the vehicle’s title, as discrepancies can delay processing.
Acknowledgment block
On page 3, under the state heading, the acknowledgment block has blanks for the county, the date, the officer’s name and title, and the principal’s name. The notary will fill in the county, the date, and their details and witness and verify the signatures.
Officer signature and seal
The notary public or other officer signs on the Signature line and adds their seal at (seal).
The signing rules for New Hampshire POA forms are in RSA 564-E:105. To be legally recognized, the POA must be signed by the principal or by another individual directed to do so in the principal’s presence.[1] Notarization is not required for a limited vehicle POA, though acknowledging the signature before a notary public creates a presumption that the signature is genuine.[1] In practice, the form is often notarized for that reason.
Meet the notary
It is common practice to sign the form in front of a Notary Public or Justice of the Peace. Wait to sign until you are with the notary.
Review the finished form
After completing all sections and notarization, review the form to ensure all information is correct and no sections have been inadvertently skipped. The form is now ready to be used for any vehicle-related legal transactions as specified.
Keep a signed copy
