To drive your newly purchased car home or to the MVD office, 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 I-40 or local streets.
Always prioritize safety by meeting in a public, well-lit area during the day. Good options in Holbrook include:
1. The parking lot of the Holbrook Police Department or the Navajo County Sheriff's Office.
2. A busy retail parking lot, such as the Safeway or a major gas station along Navajo Blvd.
3. The parking area of the Holbrook Public Library or Post Office 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. This is crucial for checking for accident history on I-40, potential salvage titles, or if the car was originally from a state with more severe weather.
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, insurance agencies, or at the MVD office in Holbrook. Once you have the signed and notarized title, take it to the local Holbrook MVD office or an authorized third-party provider to complete the transfer and register the vehicle in your name.
