the purpose of such paperwork is to allow someone other than the vehicle owner to apply for and receive a vehicle title on behalf of the owner. while this may seem limited in scope, it can be quite useful in situations where a vehicle is purchased and the new vehicle owner cannot clear his or her schedule to engage in such procedures but must still complete the titling process in a timely fashion. the initial task this form presents will be the identification of the agent or attorney-in-fact who will use principal’s vehicle owner authority (as if he or she were the principal) to make decisions, take action with, and operate the vehicle. use the first row in the table presented below the first statement to document the “last name,” “first name,” and “mi” (middle initial)” of the agent or attorney-in-fact.
