Free Montana Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney Template

A Montana motor vehicle power of attorney appoints an attorney in fact to register, transfer title, or apply for title for a motor vehicle or vessel. The Motor Vehicle Division’s Vehicle Services Bureau publishes it as Form MV65.

Form MV65 prints its rules at the top and in the certification.

Valid Only for the Named Document

The power of attorney must be exercised by the person or company named on it. It is valid only on the title, or the document, for which the authority is granted.

Mileage Goes on the Form

The owner states whether the odometer has five or six digits, records the reading without tenths, and notes the date read. Discrepancy boxes cover mileage beyond mechanical limits or mileage that is not actual.

A Purchaser Line

Where there is a purchaser, they may certify on the same form that the owner’s odometer reading is correct.

Certified Under Penalty of Law

The owner certifies under MCA 45-7-203 that the statements are true and correct, that they are the person named, and that they have authority to sign for any business or trust.

Altered Forms Can Be Rejected

Montana county and state authorities reserve the right to reject any form that has been altered.

Yes, on the state’s form. MV65 has a notary section in which the notary records the state, county, and date, the signer’s name, a signature, and a stamp or seal.

The owner’s signature and date sit directly above the notary section.

Tip: MV65 says its authority is valid only on the title or document it is granted for. Make sure your Montana motor vehicle power of attorney covers the exact document your agent will sign.

Work top to bottom:

1. Print your legal name and address.
2. Name the business or individual you appoint, with their address.
3. Describe the vehicle or vessel by title number, year, make, model, VIN, color, and plate.
4. Record the odometer reading, digit count, and date read.
5. Sign and date the certification before a notary.
6. Have any purchaser sign the odometer certification line.
7. Give the form to your agent, who signs as your name, then theirs, then POA.

MV65 asks for:

• Owner’s legal name and address
• Attorney in fact’s name and address
• Title number, year, make, model, VIN, color, and plate number
• Odometer reading, digit count, and date read
• Owner’s signature, date, email, and phone
