A Colorado motor vehicle power of attorney (Form DR 2175) empowers a vehicle owner (the principal) to authorize another individual, known as the agent or attorney-in-fact, to manage specific motor vehicle-related tasks on their behalf.
This official form recognized by the Division of Motor Vehicles facilitates the delegation of responsibilities such as vehicle registration, title application, ownership transfer, and lien recording when the principal is unable to handle these matters personally. Once signed by the owner(s) and notarized, the form remains valid until its specified termination date.
