What Is a Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney in Wyoming?

A Wyoming motor vehicle power of attorney appoints an agent to handle title and registration matters for your vehicle. Wyoming’s Uniform Power of Attorney Act, enacted in 2017 at W.S. 3-9-101 and following, sets how it is signed.

Wyoming Requirements for a Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney

The act and WYDOT’s own guidance set out these points.

Who Signs

Under W.S. 3-9-105, the principal signs, or another person signs the principal’s name in the principal’s conscious presence and at their direction.

Acknowledgment Creates a Presumption

A signature is presumed genuine if the principal acknowledges it before a notary public or other person authorized to take acknowledgments. W.S. 3-9-119 lets people who accept an acknowledged power of attorney in good faith rely on that.

Titles Go Through County Clerks

WYDOT directs specific titling and lien questions to the appropriate county clerk office, so that is usually where your agent will present the document.

Don’t Confuse It With the IRP/IFTA Form

WYDOT’s Limited Power of Attorney form is for Wyoming-based carriers with IRP or IFTA accounts. It isn’t used for personal title and registration.

Does a Wyoming Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney Need to Be Notarized?

Not for execution under W.S. 3-9-105, which requires the principal’s signature. Acknowledging it before a notary creates a presumption that the signature is genuine.

That presumption matters in practice. A person asked to accept an acknowledged power of attorney may also request the agent’s certification of facts under penalty of perjury, under W.S. 3-9-119.

Tip: Call your county clerk before your agent goes. Ask whether they’ll accept a Wyoming motor vehicle power of attorney that isn’t notarized.

How to Complete a Wyoming Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney

Plan for the county clerk visit:

  1. Name yourself as principal and your agent.
  2. Describe the vehicle, including the VIN.
  3. List the title and registration acts your agent may perform.
  4. Sign it, or direct someone to sign for you in your presence.
  5. Acknowledge the signature before a notary.
  6. Give the signed document to your agent.

  • Principal’s and agent’s names and addresses
  • Vehicle year, make, and VIN
  • The title and registration acts authorized
  • Principal’s signature and date
