However the authorization form does not allow him to buy plates.
If he has this form then it will seem a bit more legitimate. Recently sold a car for a friend so that's what I learned, hope that helps.
Better than "no" lol

THIS.
Sold/Bought cars exactly same way + I've got myself power of attorney from original owner to make things even more clear before transaction.
You can also give ICBC a call to see if everything is a go before purchase.
I've asked the original owner to call ICBC in advance and give authorization of any possible future sales -> confirmed both sides and had NO problem with sales at all.
