To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the Arizona Certificate of Title. A critical Arizona requirement is that this signature must be notarized to be valid. You can find notary services at local banks or tribal government offices in Window Rock. Once signed and notarized, you must take the title to an Arizona MVD office to complete the transfer. The nearest MVD offices are located off-reservation in towns like Holbrook or Springerville.
No. Window Rock is located in Apache County, which is outside of Arizona's mandatory vehicle emissions control areas (Area A in Phoenix and Area B in Tucson). You do not need an emissions test for state registration purposes.
While not legally mandatory for the Arizona MVD to process a state title transfer, a Bill of Sale is highly recommended. It serves as your official receipt and protects both you and the seller. It should include the VIN, vehicle details, sale price, date, and signatures of both parties.
Private party vehicle sales in Arizona are typically exempt from the state's Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT). However, because the sale is taking place within the Navajo Nation, you must check with the Navajo Nation Tax Commission to see if any tribal sales tax applies to vehicle transactions between individuals.
When you register the vehicle with the state of Arizona, you will pay standard registration fees and the annual Vehicle License Tax (VLT), which is based on the car's assessed value. Be sure to also account for any applicable Navajo Nation taxes.
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. Navajo Nation members may have different registration options, so clarify this with the seller.
