Out of the line and safely on the road during spring break

March in Arizona means the sun is still warm and inviting, Major League Baseball teams are here for the Cactus League and hopefully your favorite college basketball teams are making their case to be invited to the NCAA tournament (Arizona, GCU, NAU and ASU, we are cheering for you). Another thing happens this time of year: Schools take a week off for spring break. 

Spring break is the time to catch up on tasks like cleaning the house or visiting the MVD to renew vehicle registrations, update address information or request a duplicate ID card. March is typically a very busy month at the MVD, and your friends and neighbors may also be planning to visit the MVD during this time off.  

So what can you do if you want to take advantage of this time off and get your MVD services done? Well, If you have not been to AZMVDNOW.gov lately, you are missing out on an easy, secure way to get your MVD business done. That’s right, just maybe you don’t need to visit the MVD office after all. You might be able to handle your business online while enjoying the sunshine at a spring training baseball game. 

The online MVD portal offers customers a safe and secure way to conveniently conduct business. Transactions that can be completed on the site include renewing vehicle registration, getting a replacement driver license, transfering titles, selecting a specialty plate (possibly one of the universities in March Madness), receiving registration refunds, or even scheduling an appointment at your local MVD office if you still need to stop in. 

Over 4 million Arizonans have discovered the safest, fastest and most convenient way to complete services with the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division.

To activate your account, please visit AZMVDNow.gov and follow the prompts. These accounts are free and protected by several security protocols that are explained on the site and in an accompanying “how to” video.

If you need to talk with an MVD employee, you can ‘live chat’ with an MVD employee. Customers are able to contact MVD via chat through azdot.gov to address questions, or even complete some services from the comforts of your own computer or cell phone in real time. 

Both of these convenient and secure options might help get you out of the line and safely on the road, whether that is to the ballpark, beach or to your friends house for the tournament.
