Yes. Generally, the determining factor for a five-year registration is where the vehicle is registered and not where it is purchased. However, a vehicle that is used for commuting into an area where an emissions test is required must be emissions tested no matter where it is registered.

The appropriate special plate/personalization fees for a five year period will be collected at the time of registration.

The vehicle license tax and other applicable fees are calculated and paid for five years at the time of registration. Only a one-year registration fee is required to be paid for the entire period.

• New vehicles that have never been registered in Arizona or in any other state
• Motorcycles

If an accident occurred and proof of insurance was not available or was not valid, you may submit an Insurance Information Request along with a copy of the police report and a $3 fee. We will then release any insurance information on record for the date of the accident. If no information is available, you will be so advised. Please mail the Insurance Information Request to the address shown at the top of the form. 

A suspension could have been generated for one of several reasons:

• The information you sent may not have been received.
• The vehicle identification number may have been incorrect on the document provided.
