Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) and who wants to authorize another person (mandatary) to conduct,
on the mandators behalf, a transaction in connection with the mandator’s record. Once completed, the power of attorney contains condential
information that could be used for other purposes, which is why the SAAQ recommends only giving a power of attorney to
someone you trust and keeping a copy of the document.
General Instructions
A Power of Attorney form that is not completed in accordance with the instructions or on which entries have been
erased, crossed out or altered will not be accepted.
If the person being represented chooses to enter his or her date of birth in the “Mandator” part of Section 1, the
mandatary must be provided with an original piece of identication accepted by the SAAQ.No piece of identication is
required if the person chooses to enter the Québec driver’s licence reference number.
A fax or copy of a duly completed form can be accepted only if the required signature(s) is/are original.
The mandatary (person representing the mandator) must be age 18 or older and will have to provide one piece of
identication accepted by the SAAQ.
Vehicles registered as co-owned or jointly-leased: For any transaction other than a transfer of ownership of the vehicle,
one of the individuals whose name appears as co-owner or co-lessee on the registration certicate must come in person
or provide a power of attorney. Contact the SAAQ to nd out the requirements that apply to the transfer of ownership of
this type of vehicle.

Complete and sign Sections 1, 2 and 3B.
If the acquirer is absent, the mandatary will not be allowed to proceed with the transfer if the odometer reading reported

transferor for explanations or go in person to authorize the SAAQ to proceed with the transfer if the acquirer still wishes
to do so.
