Yes. Family members can retrieve impounded vehicles with notarized authorization letters or Nevada DMV Form VP-136 power of attorney signed by the registered owner. Mobile notary service coordinates on-site notarization at tow yard facilities throughout Clark County, allowing the vehicle owner and authorized family member to execute documents directly at the impound lot in Boulder City and Las Vegas Valley.

Both the owner and family member need valid government photo ID.

• Family member's full legal name and address

Yes. A sworn Affidavit for a Nevada matter can be notarized anywhere by a legally commissioned notary. The critical details are:

• Correct certificate type: Affidavits require a jurat with an oath or affirmation and signature in the notary’s presence.
• Accurate venue: The certificate must show the actual state and county where the oath occurred, not Nevada.
• Local compliance: The out-of-state notary should use their jurisdiction’s compliant wording. If needed, the filing attorney can attach a Nevada-compliant form for clarity.
