Once a person establishes a residency in Arizona, they are required by law to obtain an Arizona Driver’s License immediately. In order to obtain a license, visit the nearest licensing office.

Vehicle Registration
In Arizona, all individuals are required to register and title all vehicles. Instead of paying personal property tax on autos, you will pay an Arizona motor vehicle tax and a nominal registration fee. Additionally, Arizona requires that all vehicles are tested for emissions before registering the car. Newcomers must bring the following information when registering their vehicle:
- Proof of Arizona Vehicle Insurance
- Out-of-State driver’s license
- Vehicle title and any lien papers
- Proof of age
- Social Security card or other form of signature ID
- Current Vehicle Registration
Safety on the Road
The Arizona law requires that all passengers wear a safety belt while riding in a vehicle. Any minor under the age of five must be placed in a safety seat.
Voter Registration
In order to register to vote, you must be a US Citizen and at least 18 years of age. Registration will be permanent unless you change your party preference, name or address. Registration can be completed at the Maricopa County Department, all Justice of the Peace Courts, and the Motor Vehicle Department offices.
