An Arizona motor vehicle power of attorney (Form 48-1001) is a document required by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to allow a representative (the attorney-in-fact) to handle vehicle-related matters for a car or truck owner. The attorney-in-fact presents the form to the ADOT to transfer, duplicate, or request a new title. If the owner cannot buy or sell the vehicle, the attorney-in-fact can complete the task on their behalf. The form is only considered genuine if it states the names and addresses of both parties. The owner must include their driver’s license number and date of birth, as well.

Signing requirements: The motor vehicle owner and a Notary Public (or MVD Agent) must sign.
