📋 Why Tow Yards Require Notarized Authorization
Tow yards are responsible for releasing vehicles to the correct party. A notarized authorization or vehicle power of attorney proves identity, captures a permanent record in a notary journal, and reduces disputes about who was permitted to retrieve the car. Most facilities also follow insurer and police-contract procedures that require notarized documents when a non-owner picks up the vehicle. Typical scenarios include:
- LVMPD police impounds: Pickup by someone other than the registered owner often requires notarized authorization.
- Private property tows: HOA and commercial lot tows released upon proof of ownership plus authorization if an agent retrieves the car.
- Accident/collision tows: Insurance adjusters or shops retrieving vehicles require documented authority.
- Repossession storage: Lienholder releases and auction transfers that rely on notarized repossession or lien sale documents.
🚗 6-Step Vehicle Release Process (Fast & Clear)
Contact the Tow Yard and Verify Location
Call the facility to confirm the exact lot address, case/reference number, daily storage fees, what documents they require, and office hours. If your vehicle is under a police hold, ask what release paperwork is needed before arrival.
Decide Who Can Legally Release the Vehicle
If the registered owner will appear in person, bring valid government-issued photo ID. If a non-owner (family member, agent, adjuster, dealer employee) will pick up the vehicle, most yards require either a notarized authorization letter or a Nevada DMV VP-136 vehicle power of attorney.
Book Same-Day Mobile Notary at the Tow Yard
We meet you at the facility—no extra trips across town. Call/Text (702) 748-7444 or book online. On-site notarization avoids losing time while storage fees add up.
Prepare Identification and Details
You'll need government photo ID for all signers, the VIN, year/make/model, license plate, tow yard case number, and payment method for yard fees. For non-owner pickups, bring a copy of owner’s ID plus the notarized letter or VP-136.
Meet the Notary On-Site and Execute Documents
We verify identity, review for completeness (VIN and parties), witness signatures, administer oaths when required, and complete Nevada-compliant notarial certificates. Standard releases take about 15–20 minutes.
Submit Documents, Pay Yard Fees, and Retrieve Your Vehicle
Return to the cashier/office with your notarized paperwork to finalize payment and receive authorization to retrieve the vehicle from the lot. Inspect the vehicle before leaving.
📄 Common Tow Yard Documents You Might Need
Non-Owner Vehicle Release Authorization Letter
Used when a family member, employee, or agent retrieves the vehicle for the owner. It should list the VIN, vehicle description, the authorized person’s full legal name, and the owner’s notarized signature.
Nevada DMV VP-136 (Vehicle Power of Attorney)
Authorizes an agent to handle vehicle transactions including tow yard releases and DMV title work. VP-136 forms require original wet-ink signatures and a Nevada notary seal; photocopies are typically not accepted.
Hold Harmless Agreement
Some yards request a notarized hold harmless when ownership is disputed or a third party retrieves the vehicle. This protects the facility against later liability claims.
Bill of Sale (Lien Sale or Auction Purchases)
When buying from a tow yard auction, notarized bills of sale help you move quickly into DMV title and registration steps without another trip for notarization.

After-Hours / Urgent Appointments
Traditional off-site notarization often adds hidden costs: 45–60 min to find a notary + return trip, gas/parking, and lost time. On-site notarization typically cuts 2–3 hours and avoids extra storage charges while you’re away from the yard.
Business impact: Dealers, adjusters, and transporters keep transactions moving, reduce claim cycle times, and prevent avoidable overnight storage accruals.
