When do Standard Driver Licenses in Arizona expire?

I’m a foreign US resident with a Visa. How will my Arizona Driver License expiration date be determined?

Your Arizona Driver License’s expiration date is typically determined by the earlier of either your Visa’s expiration date or the end of your authorized stay in the United States. Contact us for further assistance with your identification requirements.

I lost my Arizona Driver License. How can I get a replacement?

You can order a replacement at our office if your license was lost, stolen, or damaged. Simply come in to our office to fill out a Driver License Application, after which we’ll issue you a temporary license to use until your new one arrives in the mail.

Do I need to file a Vehicle Sold Notice for a junked, salvaged, or donated vehicle?

Yes, you should still file a notice even if your vehicle is being sold for parts, considered salvaged, or donated to an organization. In the event the new owner attempts to complete a new transaction with the MVD, it would be wise to completely remove yourself from the ownership record of the vehicle.

Can I personalize my Disability License Plate?

How do I qualify for a Disability Plate?

To qualify for a Disability Plate, you must either be the owner or leaseholder of the vehicle, or represent an organization that primarily transports persons with physical disabilities.

This disability plate will replace your existing license plate and will be valid for the duration of your vehicle registration.
