To ensure the legal transfer of a vehicle title, no title transfer application may be honored unless the transfer is made by the vehicle's title owner of record or the owner's authorized representative. If the application for transfer is made by an authorized representative, a power of attorney form executed by the owner of record must be attached to the vehicle transfer application.
