Form REG 5065. Registered Owner Notarized Certification
The Registered Owner Notarized Certification (Form REG 5065) is an official document used for the State of California's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) processes. This form is designed for situations where the registered owner of a vehicle or vessel wishes to grant authorization to a licensed registration service to submit an application for duplicate title and/or duplicate or substitute license plates on their behalf.
Key Sections:
Section 1 - Registered Owner Information: This section captures essential details of the registered owner or the new registered owner if applicable. The registered owner's full legal name, residential or business address, including apartment or space number, city, state, and ZIP code are recorded. Additionally, the registered owner's driver's license or ID number, as well as a separate mailing address if different, are provided. A telephone number for contact purposes is also included.
Section 2 - Licensed Registration Service Information: This part of the form collects information related to the licensed registration service that will be acting on behalf of the registered owner. The name of the registration service, the printed name of the agent representing the service, and their address details, including apartment or space number, city, state, and ZIP code, are documented. The agent's operator's license (OL) number, mailing address if different, and a telephone number for communication purposes are also included.
Section 3 - Notarized Signature of Registered Owner: In this critical section, the registered owner certifies under penalty of perjury that the provided information is accurate and true. The registered owner's signature and the date of signing are affixed, validating their acknowledgment of the submitted information.
Notary Public Verification: The notary public or another authorized officer performs a verification of the signature on the form. The officer confirms the identity of the individual who signed the document, rather than verifying the accuracy, truthfulness, or validity of the document's contents. The officer's name, title, and other details are included, along with their acknowledgment of the registered owner's execution of the form.
Purpose: The Registered Owner Notarized Certification serves as a legally binding authorization from the registered owner to allow a licensed registration service to act on their behalf in submitting applications for duplicate titles and/or license plates to the California DMV. The inclusion of a notarized signature adds an extra layer of authenticity and credibility to the document.
Legal Affirmation: By providing this document, the registered owner attests to the accuracy of the information provided and understands that the form is legally binding under the laws of the State of California. This certification is supported by the registered owner's genuine signature, the notary public's verification, and the official seal of the notary.
This form streamlines the process of working with a licensed registration service to handle administrative matters on behalf of the registered owner, ensuring compliance with California state regulations while maintaining the security and authenticity of the submitted information.
