TITLE, USER FEE AND REGISTRATION
The Arizona Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) is the issuing agency for certificates of title, registration, license plates and the OHV Decal. MVD offices are located statewide and online services are available at www.servicearizona.com
Title: A certificate of title is proof of ownership for motor vehicles. Since 1985, most OHVs have been required to obtain an Arizona certificate of title. As of July 1, 2009, all OHVs in Arizona will need to be titled. All OHVs must have and properly display a license plate.
Title-Only License Plate: The title-only license plate is currently identified by the letters "RV" displayed on it.This is an identification plate and does not allow travel on roads that require "street-legal" registration. (For exceptions see www.azgfd.gov/ohv.)
Registration License Plate: The registration license plate is currently identified by the letters "MC" displayed on it. This "street legal" plate does allow travel on roads, trails and areas on which registration is required. It is your responsibility to ensure that your vehicle meets the necessary "street legal" requirements.
Displaying your License Plate: License plates are required to be securely attached to the rear of your vehicle and clearly displayed.
OHV Decal: A vehicle designed by the manufacturer primarily for travel over unimproved terrain and having an unladen weight of 1,800 pounds or less requires the annual purchase of an OHV Decal to operate on public and state lands. You must display the OHV Decal in the upper left-handcorner of the license plate.
