A Connecticut motor vehicle power of attorney (Form A-83) is a legal document that enables an individual (the principal) to delegate specific motor vehicle-related responsibilities to an appointed agent or attorney-in-fact. This official form is essential when the principal cannot personally handle tasks such as vehicle registration, titling, or signing any document required by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles.
The principal (grantor of powers) must provide their name, the appointed party’s name, and the document’s execution date and comply with the signature requirements specified by the state’s legal requirements. The powers granted exclude the agent from engaging in activities concerning your operator’s license/ID card or any transactions unrelated to filing or registration. The scope of the document extends to all motor vehicles.
