Do I still need VP-249 if I'm presenting the original VP-136 Power of Attorney?

Yes, you still need VP-249 even when presenting the original Nevada DMV VP-136 Power of Attorney form. Nevada Revised Statute Chapter 13 specifically grants third parties—including DMV clerks, dealers, and title companies—the right to demand that an agent provide an acknowledgment affidavit certifying the POA is legitimate and currently valid. The VP-249 satisfies this legal requirement.

The VP-249 serves a different purpose than VP-136. While VP-136 grants the agent authority to act, VP-249 is the agent's sworn declaration that: (1) the POA being submitted is a true copy, (2) the principal is alive, and (3) the agent's powers haven't been altered or terminated. DMV and other parties need this current certification to accept POA-based transactions, even when you have the original VP-136.
