A New Hampshire motor vehicle power of attorney (Form Title 5) is a formal document that enables a vehicle owner to appoint a representative, known as the “attorney-in-fact,” to handle New Hampshire Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or local municipal office related tasks such as registration and titling of a vehicle. This legal form requires detailed vehicle information, including the year, make, and VIN, and must be notarized.
Upon completion, the appointed attorney-in-fact gains the authority to manage activities like buying, selling, or trading the vehicle and to submit necessary applications to the DMV or local offices on behalf of the owner, ensuring all transactions are executed without the owner’s physical presence.
