NEW SECURE POWER OF ATTORNEY FORM IMPLEMENTATION
A recurring problem facing dealers’ is that a customer with a missing title selling a vehicle
to a dealership often fails to return to sign a duplicate title. In order to address this issue
and meet dealers’ needs, GNYADA worked with the DMV to create the MV-93 Secure
Power of Attorney form.
The MV-93 serves to authorize the dealer accepting the trade-in as the attorney-in-
fact for the purpose of odometer and damage disclosure and signature on a title. This
eliminates the need for the customer to return to the dealership to sign the duplicate title.
When does the New MV-93 go into effect:
For any sale dated on or after May 22, 2015, only the new DMV-issued Secure Power of Attorney Form (MV-93)
may be used by a dealer to sign the title on behalf of the selling owner and record the odometer reading. After
this date, “homemade”forms presented by a dealer will not be accepted by DMV.
How to order the New MV-93:
Dealers must order the New Secure Power of Attorney Forms (MV-93) directly from DMV. The forms are available
in packages of 25 and cost $125.00 for each package.
The form can be down loaded at:

or to a customer buying a trade-in. The $5 charge must be listed separately on the invoice, with the disclaimer
“THIS IS NOT A DMV FEE.”
How to Use the MV-93:
The DMV provides a list of instruction on
how to properly use the Secure Power of
Attorney Form (MV-93).
