To drive your newly purchased car home or to the MVD in Springerville, 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 Highway 260 or Highway 180/191.
Always prioritize safety by meeting in a public, well-lit area during the day. Good options in the Eagar/Springerville area include:
1. The parking lot of the Eagar Police Department or Town Hall.
2. A busy parking area, such as the local grocery store or hardware store.
3. The parking lot of the Round Valley High School (outside of school 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. This is crucial for checking if the vehicle has been in an accident on icy winter roads, has a salvage title, 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 title. In Arizona, this signature must be notarized to be valid. You can find notary services at local banks or business centers in Eagar or neighboring Springerville. Once you have the signed and notarized title, take it to the MVD office in Springerville or an authorized third-party provider to complete the transfer and register the vehicle in your name.
