Registration Compliance

Did you know that the State of Arizona loses millions of dollars a year in revenue from Arizona residents who register their vehicles in other states or countries, or fail to renew their registration ?

The loss of this revenue affects many state, county and city programs for highway and road expansion, maintenance as well as county, city and town general funds.

State law requires that you obtain an Arizona Driver license and register your vehicles immediately if you are a legal resident of Arizona.

If you can answer yes to any one or more of the following statements, you are a legal resident of Arizona.

  1. I have lived in Arizona for seven aggregate months or more during a calendar year.
  2. I am employed in Arizona (other than seasonal agricultural work).
  3. I have children in a public supported school in Arizona.
  4. I have a business with an office in Arizona, that bases and operates vehicles in this state
  5. I obtain a state license or pay school tuition fees at the same rate as an Arizona resident.
  6. I have a business that operates vehicles to transport goods or passengers within Arizona.

**Active military personnel based in Arizona who qualify for exemption under the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act are not considered Arizona Residents
