A Pennsylvania motor vehicle power of attorney form is a document you can use to appoint an agent to handle the administration of your vehicle with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. This institution will allow agents to handle some of the paperwork for a principal’s vehicle such as applying, obtaining, duplicating, replacing or updating titles, registrations, etc. Ultimately the principal will need to provide proof of his or her authorization of the agent’s actions by submitting the template below. This document must be approved by the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Department before the agent attempts to act on the principal vehicle.
