Can a family member or friend pick up my repossessed car if I'm hospitalized or deployed?

Yes, but only with a notarized Nevada DMV VP-136 Power of Attorney specifically authorizing vehicle transactions. Tow yards and repo companies will not release vehicles to non-owners without proper legal authorization, regardless of family relationship or emergency circumstances.

Common situations requiring notarized vehicle POA include:

  • Military deployment: Active duty personnel stationed overseas or out of state
  • Hospitalization: Medical emergencies preventing personal appearance (ICU, surgery recovery, extended care)
  • Out-of-state residence: Vehicle repossessed while you're traveling or living elsewhere temporarily
  • Incarceration: Jail or prison situations where personal retrieval is impossible
  • Disability: Physical or cognitive conditions preventing tow yard visits

📋 VP-136 Requirements for Tow Yard Acceptance:

  • Must be notarized by a Nevada notary with wet-ink signature and physical seal
  • Must specifically authorize the named person to retrieve, drive, and sign release documents for the vehicle
  • Must include complete vehicle description (year, make, model, VIN)
  • Original notarized document required (photocopies typically rejected)
  • Your agent must present their own valid government-issued ID matching the POA

⚠️ Hospital Notarization for Emergency Situations: If you're hospitalized in Sunrise Hospital, UMC, or other Clark County medical facilities, Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides bedside notarization service. We coordinate with hospital staff to notarize VP-136 forms while you're receiving treatment, preventing storage fees from accumulating during your recovery.

💰 Cost-Benefit Reality: Mobile notary service for VP-136 costs $45-60. Tow yard storage is $35-50 per day. If hospitalization or deployment prevents you from personally retrieving your vehicle for 7-10 days, you'll accrue $245-500 in storage fees. Notarizing a POA immediately and having someone retrieve the vehicle same-day saves hundreds of dollars.

🏥 Special Case - Incarcerated Owners: If you're incarcerated and your vehicle was repossessed or impounded, Nevada jails and detention facilities allow notary visits by appointment. We provide incarcerated owner vehicle release notarization at Clark County Detention Center and other facilities, enabling family members to retrieve vehicles using properly executed POA documents.

What documents do I need to retrieve my car from a tow yard or impound lot?

To retrieve a vehicle from a Las Vegas or Henderson tow yard, you need four core documents: valid government-issued ID, proof of vehicle ownership (title or registration), current insurance card, and tow yard release authorization. If the vehicle is repossessed or impounded for violations, you'll also need notarized forms depending on your situation.

📋 Standard Tow Yard Retrieval (Owner Present):

  • Valid photo ID: Driver's license, state ID, passport, or military ID (must match vehicle registration)
  • Proof of ownership: Vehicle title, current registration card, or DMV registration receipt
  • Proof of insurance: Current Nevada auto insurance card (not expired)
  • Payment method: Cash, credit card, or cashier's check for towing and storage fees ($200-800 typical)

🚨 Situations Requiring Notarized Documents:

  • Non-owner retrieval: Family member, spouse, or friend picking up the vehicle needs notarized VP-136 Power of Attorney
  • Repossession release: Lender redemption requires notarized VP-020 Repossession Affidavit
  • Title complications: Out-of-state titles or lost titles may require notarized affidavits of ownership
  • Business vehicles: Corporate authorization letters must be notarized with proof of signatory authority
  • Estate vehicles: Deceased owner situations require notarized executor/administrator authorization

Timeline Matters: Tow yard storage fees in Spring Valley and surrounding areas typically run $35-50 per day. Missing required notarized documents adds 2-5 days to retrieval, costing $70-250 in avoidable storage fees. Lake Mead Mobile Notary meets you at tow yards throughout Clark County to notarize authorizations on-site, enabling same-day vehicle release.

💡 Pro Tip: Call the tow yard before going. Ask specifically what documents they require for your situation. If notarization is needed, schedule a mobile notary appointment to meet you at the facility, avoiding multiple trips and additional storage costs.

How long is a notarized VP-136 valid for Nevada DMV use?

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

Nevada DMV accepts military notary certificates with proper commission information and official seal. Mobile notary service coordinates pre-deployment VP-136 notarization near Nellis Air Force Base and Creech AFB family housing areas.

🎖️ Common Military VP-136 Uses:
