Document background
The Authorization Letter For Vehicle Transfer is a crucial document in the Philippine vehicle ownership transfer process, required when the registered owner cannot personally appear before the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to process the transfer. This document is particularly relevant in situations involving overseas Filipino workers, corporate fleet transfers, or when the owner is physically unable to conduct the transfer personally. The letter must comply with Philippine transportation laws, specifically Republic Act No. 4136 and various LTO administrative orders, and requires notarization to be valid. It typically includes detailed information about the vehicle, the parties involved, and the specific scope of authority being granted. The document serves as protection for all parties involved and ensures smooth processing of the transfer at the LTO.
