The Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) handles all services for drivers in the state, including driver licensing and ID card applications and renewals; vehicle titles, registrations, and renewals; and driving records. The Game and Fish Department is responsible for watercraft registration; boat licenses are not required.
If you move to Arizona, you must exchange your driver’s license and apply for a vehicle registration immediately after establishing residency in the state. Emissions tests are required in specific areas of the state—see the MVD’s guide to emissions testing for details.
The Arizona MVD also has specific information geared toward its military residents and non-residents, in order to accommodate the unique circumstances that military service brings. Non-residents stationed in Arizona are not required to get an AZ license or registration while serving in the state. For residents serving out of state, you can renew online or by mail.
