To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the title. In Arizona, this signature must be notarized to be valid. In Parks, you will likely need to travel to nearby Williams or Flagstaff to find notary services at a bank, shipping store, or authorized third-party MVD provider. Once you have the signed and notarized title, take it to an MVD office in Williams or Flagstaff to complete the transfer and register the vehicle in your name.
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. Do not drive the car with the seller's plates on it.
To drive your newly purchased car home or to the MVD in Flagstaff or Williams, 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 Old Route 66.
Always prioritize safety by meeting in a public, well-lit area during the day. Since Parks is very rural, good options include:
1. The parking lot of the Parks general store/gas station, which is a community hub.
2. The parking lot of the local fire station (Ponderosa Fire District).
3. Alternatively, meet in a busier location in nearby Williams or Flagstaff for added visibility.
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 can uncover critical information that a seller might not disclose, such as previous accidents, odometer rollbacks, flood damage, or a salvage title brand—particularly important for vehicles that may have been involved in winter accidents on icy roads.
