A Washington motor vehicle power of attorney (Form TD-420-050) grants authority to an agent for handling vehicle registration and title matters through the Washington State Department of Licensing. A vehicle owner chooses someone they trust as their agent (or “attorney-in-fact”) to act in their absence for matters relating to their car, truck, or boat.
This form requires the vehicle owner to provide thorough details, including vehicle information, contact information, and the agent’s details. Once the principal completes this document and has a notary public acknowledge their signature, the document will serve as a framework for how the agent can act and manage vehicle-related affairs.
