To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the title. In Arizona, the seller's signature must be notarized to be valid. You can typically find notary services at local administrative offices, post office services (if available), or banks in nearby Globe. Once you have the signed and notarized title, you must take it to an MVD office or an authorized third-party provider to complete the transfer and register the vehicle in your name.
No. The title must be signed by the owner listed on the document in the presence of a notary public. The notary must verify the signer's identity directly. Do not accept a title that has already been signed without a notary stamp.
Do not complete the purchase. If the title is lost, the seller must apply for a duplicate title from the Arizona MVD (or tribal MVD if applicable) before they can legally sell the vehicle. You cannot transfer ownership without the physical title.

Yes. Many vehicles here are used for travel on rural highways (like US 70) and unpaved reservation roads. Look for signs of heavy dust in the air filters and engine bay, which can shorten engine life if not maintained. Also, because San Carlos is somewhat remote, ensure the vehicle has a reliable spare tire and jack, as roadside assistance may take longer to arrive.
