Can I sell a car with power of attorney?

Yes. LightSpeedBid supports sales completed with a valid power of attorney, and many buyers regularly work with authorized representatives. A power of attorney allows another person to sign legal documents for the owner, including the vehicle title. This option is useful when the owner is out of state, hospitalized, deployed, elderly, or simply unable to be present.

To sell a car using a power of attorney, you need the official POA form that meets your state requirements along with the owner’s ID and the representative’s ID. LightSpeedBid verifies that the form is legitimate and unexpired. Buyers then check that the POA authorizes vehicle transactions specifically. Once verified, the representative can sign the title exactly as the owner would.

LightSpeedBid makes the process seamless by guiding you through required signatures, explaining state rules, and matching you with buyers who accept POA transfers. This ensures a legal, complete, and protected sale.
