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 can find notary services at local banks, shipping stores, or businesses along Colossal Cave Road or Mary Ann Cleveland Way. Once signed and notarized, take the title and passing emissions report to an MVD office or authorized third-party provider to complete the transfer.
Always prioritize safety by meeting in a public, well-lit area during the day. Good options in the Vail area include:
1. The parking lot of a busy shopping center, such as the Safeway on Colossal Cave Road.
2. A public space near Cienega High School or the local library during business hours.
While not legally mandatory for the Arizona MVD to process a title transfer, a Bill of Sale is highly recommended. It serves as your official receipt and protects both you and the seller from future disputes about the sale price, date, or vehicle condition. It should include the VIN, vehicle details, sale price, date, and signatures of both parties.
Although you are exempt from sales tax, you will be responsible for paying registration fees and the annual Vehicle License Tax (VLT) when you title the car in your name at the MVD. The VLT is based on the vehicle's assessed value.
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, 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-10 or Old Spanish Trail.
