An Alaska DMV power of attorney (Form 847) may be used by an owner of a vehicle to assign someone else to sign any and all documents relating to its title and registration. Only an original will be qualified and accepted by the DMV and it must be accompanied by either the Vehicle Transaction Application (Form 812) and/or the Vehicle Transaction Application (Form 821).
