A Montana Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney (Form MV65) enables a vehicle owner to designate a representative, known as the “attorney-in-fact,” to manage title and registration affairs with the Montana Motor Vehicle Department (MVD). This form, requiring the principal’s signature, must be notarized and presented at an MVD location by the agent.
The agent has the authority to apply for title and registration on behalf of the owner, limited to the specific tasks and transactions outlined in the power of attorney. Essential vehicle details such as title number, year, make, model, VIN, color, license plate number, and odometer reading must be included.
