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.
