A Virginia motor vehicle power of attorney (Form VSA-70) is a legal document for vehicle owners to delegate authority in handling titling, transfer, and registration matters before the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The owner should provide their information and their co-owner’s details, if applicable.
They should also describe the vehicle to identify it properly. This way, they can clarify for which vehicle their agent can perform specific tasks, including transporting it to a repair shop or advertising it for sale.
