To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the title. In Arizona, this signature must be notarized to be valid. You can find notary services at many banks, shipping stores, and authorized third-party MVD providers throughout the downtown and midtown Phoenix areas. Once you have the signed and notarized title, take it to a nearby MVD office or an authorized provider to complete the transfer and register the vehicle in your name.
Always prioritize safety by meeting in a public, well-lit, and high-traffic area. Good options in Central City include:
1. The parking lot of the Phoenix Police Department Headquarters on W. Washington St.
2. A busy shopping center parking garage with security cameras.
3. A major bank branch parking lot during business hours.
Before paying, carefully inspect the title document. Ensure the seller’s name on the title matches their government-issued ID. Critically, verify that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the title perfectly matches the VIN on the car’s dashboard and driver-side door jamb.
A lien means a lender still has a financial claim on the vehicle. You can check for liens for free on the AZ MVD Now website using the car's VIN. If a lien exists, the seller must provide you with a lien release document from the lender before you can get a clear title.
For a comprehensive overview of the car's past, consider getting a vehicle history report from KarKiosk. In an urban environment, a car is more likely to have been in minor accidents, so a report can reveal damage that isn't immediately obvious.
No. The person whose name is on the title as the owner must be the one to sign it in front of the notary and present their photo ID. The notary’s job is to verify the identity of the signer directly to prevent fraud.
If the seller cannot find the title, they must apply for a duplicate title from the Arizona MVD before they can legally sell the vehicle to you. Do not exchange money for a car without receiving a properly signed and notarized title in hand.
