A West Virginia Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney (Form DMV-9-TR) is used by West Virginia vehicle owners who require that certain tasks be completed by an agent of his or her choosing. The Virginia DMV will allow a vehicle owner to empower an agent to handle matters that usually require the presence of the vehicle owner himself or herself. Once this paperwork is completed, the agent will have the ability to use the vehicle owner’s name to handle licensing, registration, and/or transfers of ownership with the West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles.
