MV-93.1 Form – The MV-93.1 Form, officially titled the Secure Power of Attorney Order Form (or Secure Power of Attorney (MV-93) Order Form), is an official New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NY DMV) document. It allows authorized motor vehicle dealers and facilities to order supplies of the MV-93 Secure Power of Attorney forms directly from the DMV.
This form is not a general power of attorney. Instead, it serves as a request form specifically for bulk ordering the secure MV-93 forms, which are used in vehicle title transactions.
Purpose of the MV-93.1 Secure Power of Attorney Order Request Form
The primary purpose of the MV-93.1 Form is to enable NY DMV-registered facilities to purchase packages of MV-93 Secure Power of Attorney forms. These secure forms are required for specific vehicle ownership transfers where the original title certificate is unavailable (such as when it is lost or held by a lienholder).
Dealers use the MV-93.1 to maintain an inventory of MV-93 forms, which feature built-in security features to prevent fraud in odometer and damage disclosures during title transfers. The official NY DMV description confirms: “Used by motor vehicle dealer when placing an order with DMV for the MV-93 Secure Power of Attorney form.”
Who Needs to Use the MV-93.1 Form?
The MV-93.1 Form is intended exclusively for authorized motor vehicle dealers and registered facilities (not individual vehicle owners or the general public). You must provide your Facility Name, Facility Number, and complete facility address to order.
Typical users include:
- New York motor vehicle dealerships
- Registered dealers handling title transfers
- Facilities that regularly process vehicle sales requiring secure power of attorney documentation
Individual customers do not need this form. For personal power of attorney needs in vehicle transactions, the DMV provides separate guidance on its Power of Attorney for Vehicle Transactions page.
