In Nevada, manufactured housing title work is not processed by DMV. It is handled by the Nevada Housing Department, which uses different forms, fees, and signature requirements than standard DMV vehicle titles. Many manufactured housing transfers require notarized signatures for sellers, buyers, or authorized agents.

• Where to file: Use the Nevada Housing Department for manufactured or mobile home titles. Standard vehicles go to DMV offices.
• Which signatures get notarized: Ownership transfers and lien releases often require notarized signatures. Some packets include sworn affidavits that use a jurat. Identity and willingness are verified at the appointment.
• Estate and trust situations: If the owner is deceased or the property is held in trust, you may need supporting documents. We can notarize Trusts and Estate Documents and related affidavits that accompany the title transfer.
• Original documents: Bring original title documents and valid government-issued ID for each signer. Confirm required exhibits and fee amounts with the filing office before the visit.

We provide mobile notarization for manufactured housing title paperwork across Henderson, Anthem, Spring Valley, and Boulder City. Book online or call (702) 748-7444 to schedule.

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.
