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 may find notary services at local tribal administrative offices, but often buyers and sellers travel to nearby Globe to use a bank or third-party MVD provider. Once signed and notarized, take the title to the MVD office in Globe to complete the transfer.
No. Peridot is located in Gila and Graham counties, both of which are outside of Arizona's mandatory vehicle emissions control areas (Area A and Area B).
1. The Rule: You generally do not need a Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR) or an emissions test to register a car that will be based in Peridot.
2. The Exception: If you purchase a vehicle that you plan to use for regular commuting into the Phoenix or Tucson metro areas for work or school, you might be subject to their testing requirements. For local use, no test is needed.
While Arizona law does not strictly require a Bill of Sale for the MVD to process a title transfer, creating one is highly recommended. For transactions on the San Carlos Reservation, a Bill of Sale provides a clear, official record of the property transfer, which protects both the buyer and the seller. It should include:
1. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
2. The vehicle's make, model, and year
3. The final sale price and the date of the transaction
4. The printed names and signatures of both the buyer and seller
Generally, no. Private party vehicle sales in Arizona are typically exempt from the Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT), which is the state's equivalent of sales tax. However, because Peridot is on the San Carlos Apache Reservation, it is always wise to verify if any specific tribal transaction fees apply to the sale, though casual private sales are usually exempt.
The license plate stays with the seller. In Arizona, plates are registered to the individual, not the vehicle. The seller must remove their plate before you take possession of the car.
1. Driving Legally: To drive the vehicle home or to an MVD office, you must get a "Restricted Use 3-Day Permit." This temporary permit can be purchased and printed online through the AZ MVD Now website, which is the most convenient option for residents in rural areas like Peridot.
To drive your newly purchased car home or to the MVD in Globe, 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 70.
Before you finalize the purchase, take these critical steps:
1. Check the VIN: Make sure the VIN on the car's dashboard or door jamb matches the VIN on the title document exactly.
2. Lien Check: Use the free lien check service on the AZ MVD Now website. This will confirm if a bank or lender still has a financial claim on the car. If a lien exists, the seller must provide you with a lien release document.
3. Vehicle History Report: Consider getting a report from KarKiosk. This can uncover important information about past accidents, flood damage, or title issues like a salvage brand.
