Vehicle Registration Credit or Refund

When you sell or otherwise transfer your vehicle, complete a sold notice right away. In addition, you may be eligible to receive credit for registration fees (vehicle license tax) previously paid.

Don’t delay applying for the credit! The amount of the credit is based on how much time remains on your registration on the date you apply for it. This cannot be backdated.

Note: You are not eligible for a registration credit if you register the vehicle in another state. (A.R.S. § 28-2356)

How To Apply

Go to AZMVDNow.gov or visit an MVD or Third Party office to complete the sold notice and request a registration credit. The credit is applied to your customer account. You can request a payout (disbursement) of the funds in your account or apply them to future MVD services.

By law, there is a $12 processing fee applied to a registration credit.

Once you request a credit, the vehicle will no longer be registered.
