A Wyoming motor vehicle power of attorney is a legal document that lets you name an agent, also called an attorney-in-fact, to handle vehicle matters for you. Typical tasks include registration, a sale or a title transfer. A power of attorney template helps when illness, travel or living out of state keeps you from handling these tasks yourself.

A motor vehicle power of attorney is a legal document that lets another person act for you on one vehicle. The FormsPal template on this page has lines for your name and address, your agent's details, the vehicle description, an alternate agent, your signature and a notary acknowledgment page. The printed text covers everyday vehicle tasks such as registering, licensing, selling, transferring ownership, repairing, maintaining and retitling the vehicle.

Keep the signed and notarized original with your other important legal papers and give your Wyoming agent a copy.
Wyoming residents sign this kind of document when they cannot take care of a vehicle in person. The agent can then take care of the paperwork while you are away or unwell. Here are some common situations.
Having the information ready makes the form quick to complete. The FormsPal template asks for facts about you, your agent and the vehicle, so collect them first. Most people finish the form in about 10 minutes.
Check the VIN and the spelling of every name against the vehicle title and your photo ID before you sign.
These steps follow the FormsPal template this page hands out, one step for each part of the form. Download the FormsPal PDF, then fill it in on screen with the FormsPal PDF editor or print it and write by hand.
The screenshots under each step show the FormsPal Wyoming Wyoming Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney template filled with sample entries in blue, so you can see where each answer goes. The names, addresses, dates and amounts are examples only.
Principal and agent
Write your name and home address, then your agent's name and address, in the opening paragraph. Your agent is the person who will handle the vehicle matters for you.
Describe the motor vehicle
Enter the make, model, year, VIN, odometer reading and any other identifying characteristics. The paragraph about the agent's powers is printed text, so there is nothing to fill in there.
Social Security Number/Tax ID Number and date of birth
Enter your Social Security number or tax ID number and your date of birth. The effective date line below them is already printed on the form.
Successor attorney-in-fact
Repeat your agent's name, then enter the alternate agent's name and address. The form names this person as the backup for your first agent.
Date, sign and print your name
Read the paragraph about third parties, then fill in the day, month and year. Sign on the signature line and print your name under it.
Acknowledgment: county, date, officer and principal
Enter the county, the date, the officer's name and title, and your name on the acknowledgment page. Fill in these lines at the notary appointment.
Officer signature and seal
The notary or other officer signs and seals this line, not you.
After the Wyoming form is filled in, a few simple steps finish the job. Get the notary's part completed, then hand the finished original to the right person. Keep a copy so you can look up the details later.
Notarization
Under Wyo. Stat. § 3-9-105, you must sign the FormsPal template, and notarizing it is optional. Having it acknowledged before a notary public makes your signature presumed to be genuine.[1] The notary will fill in the date and details, including their seal and signature.
Deliver the form and keep a copy
Give the signed and notarized original to your agent or to the office handling your vehicle matter. Keep a copy for your own records.
A few small slips cause most of the trouble with vehicle paperwork. Reading the form once more before your notary appointment catches them early. Here is what to look for.
The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) issues a limited power of attorney form for Wyoming-based carriers who have International Registration (IRP) and/or International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) accounts. The form specifies the actions the representative is authorized to perform, which include:
The form must be signed before a notary public, ensuring that the signatory is properly identified and their signature is authentic.[2]
This limited power of attorney facilitates the management of specific legal and administrative tasks only related to IRP and IFTA accounts. For other specific needs, Wyoming POA forms are tailored to comply with the state’s legal requirements.
