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-40 or Route 66.
Always prioritize safety by meeting in a public, well-lit area during the day. Good options in Winslow include:
1. The parking lot of the Winslow Police Department on E. 3rd Street.
2. A busy location like the Safeway or Walmart parking lot.
3. Near the "Standin' on the Corner" Park during daylight hours, as it is a high-traffic tourist area.
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.
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 business centers along 2nd or 3rd Street. Once signed and notarized, take the title to the MVD office in Winslow to complete the transfer.
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.
For a comprehensive overview of the car's past, consider getting a vehicle history report from KarKiosk. This can uncover critical information that a seller might not disclose, such as previous accidents, odometer rollbacks, flood damage, or a salvage title brand.
