Frequently Asked Questions

What circumstances would require a duplicate registration?

You might need a duplicate registration for reasons beyond losing the original document. Common scenarios include updating personal information like your name or address, reflecting vehicle modifications accurately, and obtaining replacement license plates in case of loss or theft. This ensures that your vehicle record is tied to the license plate.

There’s an error on my Driver License. How can I correct it?

If there’s a mistake on your Driver License regarding your name, address, or birth date, we’re here to help. Bring in official documentation that shows the correct details along with a Driver License Application that you can complete before your visit or while at our office.

I changed my name. How do I update my Driver License to reflect that?

First, update your name with the Social Security Administration. Once that’s done, complete an Arizona Driver License Application before your visit or at our office. Bring an original or certified document that supports your name change, such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree (for a last name change), court name change order, or Certificate of Naturalization (for a first name change). A U.S. Passport showing your new name is also acceptable.

After renewing my Driver License, will I get my new license immediately?

After the renewal process, you will be issued a temporary license to use in the interim. Your new, permanent license will be sent to you in the mail.

I just moved. How do I update my address on my Driver License?

Complete an Arizona Driver License Application either before your visit or at our office and bring proof that links your name to your new address. Since temporary credentials are issued statewide and official credentials come by mail, don’t forget to update your new address with USPS® to ensure your license won’t be returned.

I lost by vehicle registration. How do I get another one?

If your vehicle registration has been lost or destroyed, you can visit our office to order a duplicate. You’ll get a temporary one until your official registration arrives in the mail.

I’m not happy with my Driver License photo. Can I change it?

Absolutely, and you can even smile in your photo! Complete an Arizona Driver License Application or fill it out at our office.
