Register Your Vehicle for the First Time in Arizona
As an Arizona (AZ) resident you should contact the Motor Vehicles Division (MVD) to complete your car registration. Whether you are a long-time resident or newly relocated to AZ, you must register your automobile.Motor Vehicle Inspections
Should you reside in Phoenix or Tucson and your motor vehicle was made earlier than 1968, complete an emissions compliance form as part of the register car process. Complete the smog check and vehicle inspection 90 days prior to registering the vehicle with the MVD.
A list of vehicle inspection and emissions testing centers is located at the AZ Department of Environmental Quality website. You can also dial (877) 692-9227 to inquire about smog testing center locations and hours of operation.
