Arizona Car Title Transfer Guide
Signing, forms, notarization and seller protection in Arizona.
In Arizona, the seller completes and signs the seller's section on the back of the title. Notarization is no longer required for most transfers since the state moved to electronic titles. If your title is electronic, the transfer is handled through AZMVDNow. Keep a copy of the signed title or a bill of sale for your records.

Before you sell in Arizona
- Find the title and make sure the name on it matches your ID.
- Remove plates and personal items before pickup.
- Never sign a blank title — fill in the buyer exactly as instructed at pickup.
The steps
- Get your documents together. Locate the title; the name on it must match your ID. Order a duplicate first if it is lost.
- Sign at pickup, not before. Complete the seller assignment when the buyer is present and payment is ready — never sign a blank title.
- File the state seller step. Complete the notification or form your state provides so liability for the car ends with the sale.
