Nevada DMV VP-188 Trustee Appointment and Powers Affidavit | Do You Need a Notary?

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.

๐Ÿ“‹ What is Nevada DMV VP-188?

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. Itโ€™s commonly used when retitling an existing vehicle into a trust or registering a recently purchased vehicle to a family trust.

  • Execution: Sign before a Notary Public or Authorized DMV Representative; original signatures only.
  • Who signs: The affiant must be the same person who signs the certificate of title.
  • Insurance: Evidence of insurance must show either a trustee name or the trust name.
  • Trust name length: Only the first 50 characters of the trust name appear on title/registration.
