Yes, when you authorize a third party to submit the Nevada DMV VP-013 Application for Duplicate Certificate of Registration and/or Substitute Decal on your behalf, the limited power of attorney section on the form must be properly notarized before the DMV will accept the authorization. This applies when a friend, family member, or representative is picking up or requesting your duplicate registration certificate or substitute decal because your original documents were lost, stolen, damaged, or are otherwise unavailable. Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides same-day mobile notarization for VP-013 power of attorney sections throughout Lone Mountain, Summerlin Hospital Medical Center, Valley Hospital Medical Center, and all of Clark County. The limited POA section grants specific authority only for this registration transaction—it does not provide broad powers over other DMV matters or financial affairs. Both the vehicle owner (grantor) and the authorized representative (agent) should be clearly identified on the form with complete names, addresses, and relationship. The owner must personally appear before a Nevada notary public with valid government-issued photo identification to sign the POA section. The notarization verifies the owner's identity and confirms they willingly grant this limited authority. Common scenario: You're out of state or unable to visit the DMV personally, so you authorize a local friend to submit the VP-013 and pay the $5-6 processing fee to obtain your replacement documents. Our power of attorney notarization service ensures the authorization section meets Nevada DMV requirements for immediate processing.
