A New Jersey motor vehicle power of attorney form is a specialized legal document empowering an appointed agent to manage specific vehicle-related tasks on behalf of the principal. These tasks include registration, titling, transfer of ownership, and licensing of a motor vehicle within New Jersey. This POA is strictly limited to motor vehicle affairs handled by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.
To initiate this process, the principal must fill out the form with their personal details like name, address, and Social Security number, alongside the agent’s information and the vehicle’s specifics, including year, make, model, ID number, and odometer reading. The principal retains the right to revoke this power at any time through a formal written notice.
