SCDMV Form MC-25. Power of Attorney Authorization Form

The SCDMV Form MC-25, also known as the Power of Attorney Authorization Form, is used to grant someone the legal authority to act on behalf of the vehicle owner in matters related to their vehicle registration or titling. This form specifically applies to motor carriers or companies involved in the transportation of goods.

The form consists of sections where the vehicle owner provides their personal information including name, address, and contact details. The vehicle owner must also provide the name and contact details of the person being authorized as their power of attorney. Additionally, the form requires a notary public's acknowledgment and signature.

It is important for the vehicle owner to carefully consider who they grant power of attorney to, as this person will have the authority to make decisions and take actions related to their vehicle registration and titling. The authorized person should be trustworthy and competent to handle these matters.

An example of a scenario where this form may be used is when a motor carrier owner is unable to personally handle their vehicle registration and titling due to being out of state or facing health issues. By completing this form and granting power of attorney to a trusted representative, they can ensure that their vehicle-related matters are taken care of effectively.

An alternative form that is commonly used for power of attorney authorization in South Carolina is the SCDMV Form 447-NC, which is more general and can be used for a variety of purposes, not limited to motor carrier-related matters.
