Document background
An Authorization Letter To Transfer Ownership Of Vehicle is a crucial document in Philippine vehicle ownership transactions when the owner cannot personally handle the transfer process. This document becomes necessary in situations where the vehicle owner is unavailable, abroad, or otherwise unable to personally process the ownership transfer at the Land Transportation Office. The letter must comply with Philippine regulations, particularly Republic Act No. 4136 (Land Transportation and Traffic Code) and relevant LTO administrative orders. It typically includes comprehensive details about the vehicle (make, model, engine number, chassis number, plate number), the authorizer's information, the authorized representative's details, and the specific powers being granted. The document must be notarized to ensure its validity and acceptability at government offices. This authorization is commonly used in both personal and corporate settings, particularly in fleet management scenarios or when dealing with overseas vehicle owners.
