What Does DMV Stand for in Arizona?

In Arizona, the equivalent of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is called the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Motor Vehicle Division (MVD). This agency handles driver licensing, vehicle registration, and other services in the state. DMV is widely recognized and commonly used across the United States to refer to state agencies responsible for these services. Still, the specific names of these agencies can vary from state to state.

What is Required for Arizona Car Registration?

To register a car in Arizona, the following steps and documents are necessary:

  1. Complete the Application: Fill out the car registration application form.
  2. Vehicle Inspection: Some vehicles may require inspection.
  3. Provide Proof of Ownership: Submit documents proving ownership, such as the vehicle title.
  4. Proof of Insurance: Provide proof of insurance coverage.
  5. Payment of Fees: Pay the required registration fees.

How Much is Vehicle Registration in Arizona?

The cost of vehicle registration in Arizona includes various fees such as registration fees, title fees, air quality fees, and vehicle license tax (VLT). The VLT is based on the vehicle's assessed value, which is 60% of the manufacturer's base retail price reduced by 16, and then calculated at a rate of $2.80 for new vehicles or $2.89 for used vehicles per $100 of the assessed value. For example, for a new vehicle that costs $25,000, the first-year VLT would be $420.00, and the second year would be $363.06. In addition to these fees, there may be other charges depending on the type of vehicle and its use. The registration fees can vary based on the vehicle type and exemption qualifications. For instance, a 90-day registration costs $15, and the standard registration includes a $4.50, $8.00, or $9.00 registration fee, along with other applicable fees. The total cost of vehicle registration can vary based on these factors.

Can I Get My Arizona License Online?

Arizona residents can only complete part of the process of obtaining a new driver's license online due to requirements for identity verification and, in the case of first-time licenses, a behind-the-wheel driving test. However, Arizona's Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) does offer online services for many other tasks, such as renewing an existing license, ordering a duplicate license, updating personal information, and more.

For a new driver's license, applicants typically need to visit an MVD office or an authorized third-party provider to submit the required documentation, pass a vision test, and, if applicable, take a written knowledge test and a road skills test. It's always a good idea to check the most current requirements and processes by visiting the official Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) website or contacting the MVD directly, as procedures and available online services may change.
