Tips for a faster visit
The manual suggests you:
- Check AZ MVD Now first: your errand may be one you can do online
- Avoid the first two and last two days of the month, and the day after a holiday
- Bring your out-of-state license and the identification you need
- Have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy for vehicle errands
- Pay by credit card, cashier’s check or money order as well as cash, for most fees
