To transfer ownership legally, the seller must sign the back of the title. In Arizona, the seller's signature must be notarized. You do not necessarily need to be present for the signing, but the document must bear a valid notary stamp. You can find notary services at most banks in Bullhead City or at third-party MVD service providers. Once you have the signed and notarized title, take it to the local MVD office or an authorized third-party provider to complete the transfer and register the vehicle in your name.
No. Unlike the Phoenix and Tucson areas, Mohave County—including Bullhead City—does not currently require vehicle emissions testing for registration.
1. The Exception: If you are buying a vehicle that commutes into the Phoenix or Tucson areas for work or school, you might be subject to those counties' testing requirements. However, for a vehicle that will primarily remain in Bullhead City, no emissions test is required to transfer the title or renew registration.
In Arizona, the license plate stays with the seller. Plates are registered to an individual, not the vehicle. The seller is required by law to remove their plate before you take possession of the car. Never drive away using the seller's license plate.
To drive your newly purchased car home or to the MVD, you must obtain a "Restricted Use 3-Day Permit." This temporary permit can be purchased and printed online through the AZ MVD Now website or acquired in person at the Bullhead City MVD office.
Always meet in a public, busy, and well-lit location during daylight hours. Good options in Bullhead City, AZ, include:
1. The parking lot of the Bullhead City Police Department.
2. The parking lots of major retail stores like Walmart, Smith's, or Safeway along Highway 95.
Before handing over any money, inspect the title document carefully. The seller’s name on the title must match their government-issued photo ID. Also, confirm that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the title is identical to the VIN on the car’s dashboard (visible through the windshield) and on the driver-side door jamb sticker.
