The one ADOT built for private sales. It does two things at once: it appoints the buyer as your attorney-in-fact to sign the title papers, and it carries the federal odometer disclosure so the mileage is certified even though you never touched the certificate. The department's own note is that it is used for private party to private party sales, which none of the other powers of attorney are.
Written against 48-7104 (R07/25), issued under A.R.S. 28-370 and 49 CFR 580.
Do not confuse it with the Secure Power of Attorney, form 48-0600. That one is not published for download at all - MVD supplies it to licensed dealers through its forms warehouse, and its own policy says it must be used by an Arizona licensed dealer when the title is held by a lienholder or has been lost. A private seller cannot get one and does not need one.
Two documents, and they are not the same thing. Take the blank 48-7104 from the apps.azdot.gov copy so you get the revision that is current today.
This is the actual 48-7104, rendered from the PDF the Arizona Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division publishes and completed end to end: letterhead, every field, and the blocks at the foot.
Amber — you write it
Grey — not yours to fill
Numbered — explained below
Read the band labels down the left edge - Vehicle Information and Attorney, Odometer Reading, Seller Information, Notary, Buyer Information. They are the order the form is completed in, and the notary band sits between the two signatures for a reason.
Field by field
Every line, in the order you meet it
1
You fill this in
Vehicle Identification Number, Year, Make, Body Style
The vehicle, in the top band.
Watch out: Take the VIN from the MVD record rather than from a document you may not have. If the title is electronic, AZ MVD Now is where it lives.
2
You fill this in
Attorney-In-Fact
The person or business you are authorising to sign the title papers for you.
Watch out: On a private sale this is normally the buyer, which means you are handing them authority to endorse your name. Be as sure of them as that implies.
3
You fill this in
Odometer Reading (no tenths)
Whole miles, in the Odometer Reading band.
Watch out: This is the figure that will be certified on your behalf. Once the attorney-in-fact uses it, correcting it means another one of these forms.
4
You fill this in
The miles and kilometers boxes
Tick one.
Watch out: Neither ticked is not the same as miles. The department records the unit as declared, and it does not convert.
5
You fill this in
The two exception boxes
Only if the odometer has rolled over, or if the reading is not the actual mileage.
Watch out: Leaving both alone certifies the reading as actual. That certification is yours, made by somebody else's hand.
6
You fill this in
Seller Name (printed) and Seller Signature
Print your name by hand, then sign beside it.
Watch out: Hand-printed means hand-printed. A typed name in this field is one of the few things this form is refused for.
7
You fill this in
Seller street address, city, state and ZIP
Your address, under the signature.
Watch out: Use the address MVD has on the vehicle record. A mismatch is not fatal, but it is one more thing for a clerk to ask about.
8
The buyer fills this in
The Notary band
Completed by a notary public or an MVD agent, with date, county, state and commission expiry.
Watch out: An MVD or Authorized Third Party processor will witness it for nothing. That is cheaper and quicker than a notary, and the statute says so explicitly.
9
The buyer fills this in
Buyer Name (printed), Buyer Signature and address
The buyer acknowledges the mileage you certified, prints their name by hand and signs.
Watch out: If the buyer is also the attorney-in-fact, they are signing here as the buyer only. They still cannot sign your half - the same person may not represent both sides of an odometer statement.
At a glance
What goes where
On the form
What to put in it
Vehicle Identification Number, Year, Make, Body Style
Four fields in the Vehicle Information and Attorney band down the left of the sheet.
Attorney-In-Fact
The individual or organization you wish to act for you on your behalf - on a private sale, usually the buyer.
The grant
A printed paragraph appointing the attorney-in-fact to sign all papers and documents required to secure the title, to endorse and transfer title, and to disclose the mileage exactly as stated in the following disclosure.
Odometer Reading (no tenths), miles / kilometers
The reading and the unit, in the Odometer Reading band.
The two exception boxes
One for an odometer that has passed its mechanical limit and rolled over, one headed NOT Actual Mileage with its odometer-discrepancy warning.
Seller Name (printed), Seller Signature, street address, city, state, ZIP
The Seller Information band, with a printed instruction beside it: name must be printed by hand.
The Notary band
Acknowledged before me this date, with date, county, state, commission expiry and a line headed Notary or MVD Agent Signature.
Buyer Name (printed), Buyer Signature, address
The Buyer Information band at the foot, under the sentence I am aware of the above odometer certification made by the seller.
What gets this one rejected
•One person signing both halves. ADOT's rule is that the same person cannot represent the seller and the buyer on this form or on any other odometer statement.
•A typed seller name. The instruction printed beside the field is that the name must be printed by hand.
•An unwitnessed signature. The power of attorney has to be witnessed by an MVD agent or notarized by a notary, and an electronic notarial certificate is accepted.
•Any alteration to a signature. A power of attorney containing an altered signature will not be accepted, and no white-outs or cross-outs are allowed anywhere on it.
•Using it after the grantor has died. A power of attorney is valid until the powers have been revoked by the grantor or by the grantor's death.
•Using a general power of attorney instead for an odometer problem. The Division rules that out by name.
Rules that decide whether it is accepted
•It exists for the missing title. MVD's description is that it is used when a Certificate of Title is not available due to the title being held by the lienholder - which, in a state that holds titles electronically, covers a lot of ordinary sales.
•It replaces the odometer block on the title. Where the owner sells to another person, a completed Power of Attorney with Odometer Disclosure may take the place of the odometer information being recorded on the back of the title.
•It also fixes an odometer error. Where a mistake was made in the odometer entry on the title or MCO, this is the form the seller completes to correct it.
•The MVD witness costs nothing. Under A.R.S. 28-370 the department's designated employees may administer oaths and acknowledge signatures without requiring the payment of a fee, and may witness a power of attorney used solely for vehicle title and registration.
