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 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 the most convenient option, as driving without a plate on rural highways like SR 69 can lead to a traffic stop.
Always prioritize safety by meeting in a public, well-lit area during the day. While Spring Valley is a small community, good options include:
1. The parking lot of the Spring Valley Library or Community Center.
2. Busy public areas like the Family Dollar parking lot or near the local post office.
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 find notary services at local businesses in Spring Valley or in nearby Mayer or Cordes Lakes. Once you have the signed and notarized title, take it to an MVD office (the closest are typically in Prescott Valley or Camp Verde) or an authorized third-party provider to complete the transfer and register the vehicle in your name.
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.
