Vehicle Sold Notice

Have You Sold A Car in Arizona? Protect Yourself With A Vehicle Sold Notice.

Selling your car to another individual requires more than just handing over the keys

Sellers must report to the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (AZ MVD) within ten (10) calendar days of transferring ownership. This ensures that both AZ MVD and law enforcement have the most recent record of the vehicle’s current owner.  Whether you sold your vehicle online, to a neighbor, a friend, or family member, you could still be held responsible for it after the sale. 

Without updated ownership information, sellers might find themselves on the hook for towing fees, storage charges, or other related penalties if the vehicle is towed or found abandoned on federal, state land, or private property. Worse, sellers may run the risk of facing legal action if the vehicle they sold is involved in a crime, thus adding more serious consequences for missing this AZ MVD requirement.

In 2020, ADOT enhanced security by centralizing the distribution of Arizona MVD credentials, such as driver licenses, instruction permits, license plates, car titles, and placards, to name a few!

Once your order is placed and paid for at any MVD or Authorized Third Party office, you’ll receive temporary documents to use until your official credentials arrive in the mail from ADOT.

The post office will not forward mail from ADOT, so make sure your home address is current with USPS®
