What Is a Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney in South Dakota?

A South Dakota motor vehicle power of attorney appoints someone to apply for a certificate of title, or to assign the title, for a vehicle or boat. The Department of Revenue publishes it as MVD Form 1023.

South Dakota Requirements for a Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney

Form 1023 covers a narrow set of powers.

Vehicles or Boats

The form works for either one; you check whether it covers a vehicle or a boat.

Two Purposes

Two powers are listed: to apply for a certificate of title in your name, and to assign all rights, title, and interest in the vehicle or boat on your behalf.

Jointly or Severally

When you appoint two people, you choose how they act. Jointly means both named must sign; severally means either one can sign.

It Goes With the Title Paperwork

The Department of Revenue says to print the form and attach it to the title paperwork, which is submitted to the applicable county treasurer’s office.
