Only the agent (attorney-in-fact) named on the power of attorney can sign the Nevada DMV VP-249 Affidavit of Acknowledgment. The principal—the person who granted the power of attorney—does not sign this form. The VP-249 is the agent's sworn statement certifying that the POA is a true copy, the principal is alive, and the agent's powers remain valid and unaltered.

This is a critical distinction that causes confusion and rejection. The form explicitly states "The affiant completing this affidavit must be the agent of the power of attorney." If the principal signs VP-249, the DMV will reject the entire packet because the wrong person provided the sworn certification. The agent must personally appear before the notary, present valid ID, and sign under oath.
