A standing authority, in your name, letting somebody else collect certificates of title on your behalf from the Cabinet's One Stop Shop in Frankfort. Section 1 is a short owner block with a notary under it; Section 2 is a ten-row grid where each named person is either granted or revoked, with a beginning and an ending date. The instruction that shapes the whole thing is the five-year cap: the beginning date through the ending date shall not exceed five (5) years.
Written against TC 96-330 (05/2020), issued under The Cabinet's One Stop Shop title-collection procedure.
This is not the form for letting somebody sign a title for you. That is the limited power of attorney, and it is a different document with a different job: this one authorises collection, not signature.
Two documents, and they are not the same thing. Take the blank TC 96-330 from the transportation.ky.gov copy so you get the revision that is current today.
This is the actual TC 96-330, rendered from the PDF the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Division of Motor Vehicle Licensing 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
One row used and nine left open, which is how a standing authority is meant to look. The beginning and ending dates are exactly five years apart, because that is the longest the instruction band allows.
Field by field
Every line, in the order you meet it
1
You fill this in
Section 1, your own details
Name, phone, address and email - the block the Cabinet will use to check the authority is real.
Watch out: The fax line is a leftover. An email address is what actually gets used, because this form can be sent in by email.
2
You fill this in
Print your name, then sign beside it
Two separate boxes on the same row: owner name printed, and signature.
Watch out: Both, not one. The printed name is what the Cabinet reads and the signature is what the notary attests to.
3
You fill this in
Have it sworn
The attesting official's block sits between the two sections - date, signature and title, commission number, expiry.
Watch out: It is sworn before Section 2 is filled in on the page, but sign nothing until the whole sheet is complete in front of you.
4
You fill this in
One row per person, one date range per row
Granted or Revoked, the person's name, and the beginning and ending dates in month, day and year columns.
Watch out: Five years is the ceiling. Set the ending date deliberately rather than leaving it open, because an authority you forget about is one you cannot see being used.
At a glance
What goes where
On the form
What to put in it
Section 1, owner information
Name, phone and fax; address, city, state and ZIP; an email address.
Owner name printed, and signature
Two boxes side by side - printed and signed - because the affidavit is about identity.
The jurat
Signed and attested before me this day of, then the attesting official or notary public signature and title, a commission number and a commission expiry in month, day and year.
Section 2, the standing list
A ten-row table with four columns: choose one (Granted or Revoked, as a pair of boxes per row), name, beginning date in month, day and year, and ending date in the same three parts.
The instruction band
Where to send it: email to the Cabinet's Motor Vehicle Licensing help desk, or drop it at the One Stop Shop at 200 Mero Street, Frankfort, between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
What gets this one rejected
•A date range longer than five years. The instruction says so in words and figures, and a clerk will not extend it.
•A row with neither Granted nor Revoked marked. The column is headed choose one and the two boxes are not decorative.
•A revocation with no ending date. Revoking is a dated act, and an undated one leaves the authority in place.
•An unsworn Section 1. It is an affidavit, and the notary block sits between the two sections for that reason.
•Using it to collect a title from a county clerk. The affidavit names the KYTC One Stop Shop, which is a different counter in a different city.
•A business named without a person. The instruction allows an individual or business, but somebody has to walk in and be identified.
Rules that decide whether it is accepted
•It is about Frankfort, not about your county. Ordinary certificates are printed in Frankfort and posted. This form only matters where somebody is collecting one in person from the Cabinet.
•Granting and revoking use the same sheet. Which is why the grid pairs the two boxes on every row - the second filing usually revokes what the first one granted.
