Title and Registration

Requirements vary depending on your specific circumstances. Contact us for details.

First visit any MVD or Authorized Third Party office to obtain a vehicle inspection. The additional steps needed to then complete the process vary with each situation. At the time of the inspection, we will provide you with a list of the specific actions and documentation required.

Complete a title application (including the lien information), submit with the most current title, pay a $4 title fee and obtain a lien release from the lienholder/lender (if applicable) with

• a complete description of the vehicle (year, make, and vehicle identification number).
• the date the lien was paid in full.
• a notation or stamp that indicates the lien is paid.
• the full signature of the lienholder or the lienholder agent.

Use the same procedure as a title transfer. If there is a lien on the vehicle that has not been paid off, written permission from the lienholder/lender will be required to add or delete a name.

When an Arizona title is lost, mutilated or becomes illegible, you, the owner of record, may apply for a duplicate title. Owner name, legal status, lienholder and vehicle information must remain the same. Only the address and/or vehicle location address may be changed. Activate your AZ MVD Now account to apply for a duplicate. The fee is $4.

You can see how much you paid in vehicle registration fees for last year, including your vehicle license tax, by using the Vehicle Payment Summary online service. You can view your record and print it. This is a free service. Note: This recap is provided for information only. If you are using it for tax purposes, consult your tax adviser.

If you move from Arizona and register your vehicle somewhere else, you are not eligible for a refund. More information.

You are not required to notify us. The other state should automatically send us notification. Until that is completed, you may receive notices from us regarding registration renewal and insurance verification.

Visit the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality website.
