SCDMV Form MV-80. Agent Authorization

The SCDMV Form MV-80, also known as the Agent Authorization form, is used to authorize another individual or entity to act as an agent on behalf of a vehicle owner in South Carolina. This form is typically used when the vehicle owner is unable to handle certain transactions themselves and wishes to grant someone else the authority to do so.

The form consists of various sections where the vehicle owner must provide their personal information, such as their name, address, phone number, and driver's license number. The owner must also specify the name of the authorized agent and provide their contact information.

It is important to carefully fill out this form as any errors or incomplete information may result in delays or rejection of the authorization request. Both the vehicle owner and the authorized agent must sign the form in order for it to be valid.

For example, if a vehicle owner is unable to physically visit the DMV to renew their vehicle registration, they can complete the MV-80 form to authorize a family member or friend to do so on their behalf. The authorized agent can then present the completed form at the DMV and complete the transaction.
