Nevada DMV Form VP-136 remains valid until the specific transaction is completed or until the principal revokes the authorization in writing. There is no automatic expiration date, but most Nevada DMV offices recommend completing authorized transactions within 12 months of notarization to avoid questions about continuing validity. Professional VP-136 notarization ensures proper scope definition throughout Paradise and Las Vegas Valley.

Principals can revoke VP-136 authority at any time by providing written notice to the agent and Nevada DMV. For ongoing fleet management or business vehicle needs, principals may grant broad continuing authority, while one-time transactions like single vehicle sales typically use limited specific authority that terminates upon transaction completion.

⏱️ VP-136 Duration Considerations:

• No statutory expiration date under Nevada law
• Valid until transaction completed or principal revokes
• DMV clerks may question VP-136 older than 12 months
• Dealerships and title companies prefer fresh notarization per transaction
• Ongoing authority remains valid until formal revocation

📋 Best Practices for VP-136 Validity:

• One-time transactions: Obtain VP-136 notarization shortly before DMV visit
• Fleet management: Use continuing authority with clear scope definition
• Military deployment: Broad authority valid throughout deployment period
• Estate administration: Fresh VP-136 for each vehicle transfer recommended
• Out-of-state owners: Complete Nevada DMV transactions within 6-12 months

✅ Revocation Process:

• Principal provides written revocation notice to agent
• Principal notifies Nevada DMV of VP-136 revocation
• Agent must cease using revoked VP-136 immediately
• New VP-136 required for future transactions after revocation
