What is an “Authorized Third-Party MVD Provider” in Arizona?

Convenient Access to Motor Vehicle Services

Did you know that in Arizona, you can avoid long lines at traditional motor vehicle departments by visiting an “Authorized Third-Party MVD Provider (ATP)?” These providers, like Airpark Motor Vehicle Services, offer a convenient alternative for handling your vehicle title, registration, and even drivers license and road testing needs at select locations.

The Authorized Third-Party Motor Vehicle Services Program

In 1993, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) introduced the Authorized Third-Party Motor Vehicle Services Program. The goal was simple: to expand access, reduce wait times, and improve efficiency. By partnering with private sector companies, Arizona created a network of independently operated offices that adhere to the same standards and procedures as state-operated MVD offices.

At an ATP office, you can access a wide range of motor vehicle services without the hassle of long wait for a small convenience fee. According to ADOT, this program has significantly reduced wait times by up to 50%, providing services to over 2 million Arizonans annually [2023]

Imagine waiting hours at a traditional motor vehicle department office where in some states, wait times can exceed two hours, especially during peak times and seasons. In contrast, Arizona residents can choose from many convenient ATP locations across the state to visit as an alternative to traditional MVD offices. This innovative service model supports local businesses, creates jobs, and ensures essential services are readily available to all residents.
