Only the principal (vehicle owner granting authority) must appear before the notary. The agent does not sign VP-136 and does not need to be present during notarization. Nevada DMV requires proper acknowledgment certificate with Nevada notary commission information, official seal impression, and original signatures only.
📋 Principal Requirements:
- Valid government photo ID (Nevada license, passport, state ID, military ID)
- Must be physically present before Nevada notary (no remote notarization)
- Must sign form in notary's presence (cannot pre-sign)
- Must be alert and understand the document's purpose
- Full legal name must match vehicle title exactly
✅ Form Completion Requirements:
- Principal and agent full legal names and addresses
- Vehicle year, make, model, and 17-character VIN (must match title)
- Specific powers granted (title transfer, registration, duplicate title, lien release)
- Nevada notarial acknowledgment certificate completed by notary
- Official Nevada notary seal impression (legible and complete)
⚠️ Common DMV Rejection Reasons:
- Missing or illegible notary seal
- Pre-signed forms (must sign in notary's presence)
- Incorrect VIN or vehicle description
- Out-of-state notary certificate (must be Nevada notary)
- Photocopied or faxed VP-136 (original required)
