New Hampshire Vehicle Power of Attorney Overview
A New Hampshire vehicle power of attorney authorizes an agent to handle motor vehicle transactions at the New Hampshire DMV on behalf of the vehicle owner. This includes title transfers, vehicle registration, buying or selling vehicles, and obtaining duplicate titles.
New Hampshire does not require a DMV-specific form. A properly notarized general vehicle POA is accepted at New Hampshire DMV offices.
The New Hampshire vehicle POA must be notarized and should identify the specific vehicle by VIN. It is commonly used by military members deployed from New Hampshire, elderly residents who cannot visit the DMV, out-of-state vehicle owners, and family members helping with vehicle transactions.
