FHBOY 1 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 It is necessary for me to return my car to the USA to sell it. I dread the trip and my wife absolutely refuses to go through it again. The car is titled in both our names. This being the case I was told by the buying agent that I can use a Power of Attorney with all the proper info in lieu of her appearing. Where can I get a P o A that will be valid in the USA here at Lakeside? I assume a Mexican P o A will not be valid. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tus Primos 0 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 You should be able to find a sample online and make your own. It probably needs to be notarized. I think there are a couple people here lakeside that will notarize documents for the US. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Intercasa 1,079 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Check motor vehicles for the place your title is from for their requirements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourbonman 0 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Notarized copies by people Lakeside are not legal. A notary in the USA must notarize in the area licensed to be legal. Documents can be notorized at the US Consulate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FHBOY 1 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks to all. I figured that to be a valid PoA it would have to be by an American Notary. If I need to go to a US Consulate, where is the nearest one? The buyer told me what was necessary in the wording, I can cut and paste from the web and add the necessary specific information.

RVGRINGO 2,099 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 If you have the time, you might call Clay County, SD and ask what they require for you and your wife to sell the car to just you. Get the title from SD and then go north to sell it. cclaycountysd.org Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Little Feather 0 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 The notary with the American Consulate comes to LCS on the first Wednesday of each month. They go to the American Legion in Chapala first and come to LCS around 11. You can get your document notarized then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More Liana 941 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Take money, lots of money. It costs $50 USD or the equivalent in Mexican pesos to have a single document notarized. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calico 0 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Can you give me current information on the Consulate notary and when they come to either American Legion or LCS in Chapala? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johanson 1,004 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 I thought I remembered that high price from 2 or 3 years ago. So I am glad I was wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiny 679 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 I was at the Consulate in Guadalajara about 10 days ago. It is still $50.00. They take credit card. Remember to make an appointment. (Good Indian restaurant near by.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
