An Arizona motor vehicle power of attorney (Form 48-1001) provides a third party the authority to execute vehicle-related documents for the owner or purchaser. This authorization includes acts such as transferring, endorsing, and acquiring a title on behalf of the party executing the form.
Arizona law requires that you sign a power of attorney in the presence of a notary public. A witness must also sign a statement before a notary. This witness cannot be: a person you named as an agent in the Power of Attorney.
In Arizona, your power of attorney must be in writing. As the principal, you sign your name or direct someone to sign on your behalf and in your conscious presence. You must have someone witness your signature, but your witness cannot be you, your spouse, your children, or a notary public.
The Power of Attorney does not need to be filed with the Court. Each person who is made your Agent should keep the original of his or her Power of Attorney form in a convenient place so that it can be located easily when needed.
A dealer employee (e.g., title clerk) will sign the MCO—notarization is not required.
In Arizona, the title no longer requires a notary or MVD Agent to witness the seller signature as of October 2022. However, If you are selling to an out-of-state buyer, we recommend you come in so we can notarize the title to prevent problems in a different state.
