What the TC 96-336 is and why it matters
The TC 96-336 is the Kentucky vehicle power of attorney form. The owner (or lessee) appoints an attorney-in-fact who may apply for original or replacement titles, disclose the most current mileage, and transfer title. On a dealer deal, your buyer appoints your dealership. Section 1 is the vehicle they're buying, Section 2 is their trade-in, so one form covers both. The form's instruction is short: attach it to the title and registration application and forward it to the county clerk.
Two rules decide whether it holds up. The owner certifies the power of attorney "was completely filled in at the time of its execution," so nothing gets added after they sign. And Section 4 is a notary section: the notary certifies the owner signed in the notary's presence and was identified by photo ID. This guide walks all four sections from the dealer's side.
The current revision is TC 96-336 (Rev. 05/2022), from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Division of Motor Vehicle Licensing. Copies marked Rev. 05/2020 still circulate online, so check the revision in the top corner. The Cabinet says it prescribes the form for vehicle ownership transfers in compliance with KRS 186A.215 and KRS 457.030(4). Unlike most states' general powers of attorney, this one covers mileage: the owner appoints an attorney-in-fact to apply for title, disclose the current mileage, and transfer title, for a purchased vehicle and a trade-in on one page.
Documents to have before you start
Gather these before you complete the TC 96-336. A missing attachment is the number-one reason the the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Division of Motor Vehicle Licensing bounces a title application back.
- The TC 96-182 title application for the deal — The form says to attach it to the title and registration application. See the TC 96-182 guide.
- The current odometer reading for each vehicle — Section 1 and Section 2 each state "The vehicle's odometer reading is ___." Read the odometer on the day the owner signs.
- The owner's photo ID, for the notary — The notary records the form of positive picture identification. A driver's license is marked preferred.
- A notary present when the owner signs — Section 4 certifies the owner executed the form in the notary's presence.
TC 96-336, section by section
Section 1: Purchased vehicle information
Year, make, model, VIN, body type, and current plate number for the vehicle being bought, then "The vehicle's odometer reading is ___." Copy the vehicle details from the title so they match the TC 96-182. Write the plate number if the vehicle has one, since the owner certifies the form was completely filled in when they signed. Write the mileage as the odometer reads today.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Year, make, model | You (dealer) |
VIN, body type | You (dealer) |
Current plate # | You (dealer) |
Odometer reading Whole miles, read the day of signing. | You (dealer) |
Section 2: Trade-in vehicle information
The same boxes for the trade-in: year, make, model, current plate number, VIN, body type, and the trade's odometer reading. This lets your dealership transfer the trade's title and disclose its mileage as the owner's attorney-in-fact. No trade-in, leave Section 2 empty.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Year, make, model, current plate # | You (dealer) |
VIN, body type | You (dealer) |
Odometer reading The trade's reading in whole miles. | You (dealer) |
Section 3: Vehicle owner or lessee information and statement
The owner's printed name, email address, phone, street address, city, state, and ZIP. Then "I/we (vehicle owner name), appoint (attorney-in-fact full legal name)" with the attorney-in-fact's address, city, state, and ZIP. When your dealership is appointed, use its full legal name. The form is written "I/we" with two owner signature lines, so a buyer and co-buyer can sign the same form. The grant covers any documents needed to complete the transfer, including applications for original or duplicate title, registrations, license plates, registration renewals, and mileage verifications.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Owner name, email, phone | You (dealer) |
Owner street address, city, state, ZIP | You (dealer) |
Vehicle owner name (I/we) Both owners when there's a co-buyer. | You (dealer) |
Attorney-in-fact full legal name and address Your dealership. | You (dealer) |
The two odometer certification boxes
"Only mark this section if the vehicle complies with one of the designations below." One box certifies the odometer reading reflects mileage in excess of its mechanical limits. The other certifies the reading is NOT the actual mileage, with "WARNING-ODOMETER DISCREPANCY." These are the owner's certifications about their vehicle, so the owner decides. Leave both blank when the reading is the actual mileage.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Mileage in excess of mechanical limits Odometer has rolled over. | Buyer |
NOT the actual mileage (odometer discrepancy) | Buyer |
Owner signatures and dates
Vehicle Owner 1 signs and dates; Vehicle Owner 2 signs and dates when there's a second owner. Right above the signature lines, the owner certifies the power of attorney was completely filled in at the time it was signed. Fill every line that applies before the owner picks up the pen. Sign in front of the notary, not before.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Vehicle Owner 1 signature and date | Buyer |
Vehicle Owner 2 signature and date Co-buyer, when there is one. | Buyer |
Section 4: Notary information and signature
The notary prints their full legal name, email, phone, and address, and certifies that the named owner executed the form in their presence and was identified by positive picture identification: driver's license (preferred, with the DL number) or other. Then the date, the notary's signature and title, commission number, and commission expiration.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Notary name, email, phone, address The notary. | At the counter |
Picture ID used (DL # or other) | At the counter |
Date, notary signature and title, commission # and expiration | At the counter |
Common TC 96-336 mistakes that cause rejections
The owner certifies the form was completely filled in when it was signed. Fill the plate numbers, body types, and mileage first.
The notary certifies the owner executed the form in the notary's presence. Sign at the notary's desk.
The two boxes are the owner's own certifications. Mark one only if it's true, and only the owner decides.
Section 2 is built for the trade-in. One TC 96-336 covers the purchased vehicle and the trade.
The current form is Rev. 05/2022. Download it fresh from the Transportation Cabinet instead of reusing an old copy.

The current revision is Rev. 05/2022.
Does the Kentucky vehicle power of attorney need to be notarized?+

Where do I file the TC 96-336?+
The form's instruction is to attach it to the title and registration application (TC 96-182) and forward it to the county clerk.
