To drive your newly purchased car home or to an inspection station, you must get a "Restricted Use 3-Day Permit." This temporary permit can be easily purchased and printed online through the AZ MVD Now website. This is essential for legally driving on busy roads like the I-17 or Loop 101.
Always prioritize safety by meeting in a public, well-lit, and busy area during the day. Deer Valley offers many suitable locations:
1. The parking lot of the Phoenix Police Department - Black Mountain Precinct on 19th Ave.
2. A busy retail center, such as the Deer Valley Towne Center (near I-17 and Loop 101).
3. The parking area of a large bank or grocery store along Bell Road.
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. This is vital for checking if the vehicle has a salvage title, has been in major accidents on Phoenix freeways, or has odometer discrepancies.
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.
To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the Arizona Certificate of Title. A critical requirement in Arizona is that this signature must be notarized to be valid. You can find notary services at the many banks, shipping centers, or third-party MVD partners along Bell Road or Deer Valley Road. Once notarized, the title must be processed at an MVD office or authorized third-party provider to complete the transfer.
