Yes โ Nevada DMV VP-188 must be signed in person before a Notary Public or an Authorized DMV Representative. This affidavit lets a trustee transfer or register a vehicle in a family trust without presenting full trust documents to DMV. The affiant must be the same person who signs the title, and the insurance must list a trustee or the trust.

The VP-188 Trustee Appointment and Powers Affidavit allows a trustee to declare authority to sign for a vehicle titled or being titled to a trust. Itโs commonly used when retitling an existing vehicle into a trust or registering a recently purchased vehicle to a family trust.
