Yes, AAA can help. We typically need the out-of-state certificate of title (unless the title is being held by the out-of-state lien holder; then we would need the most recent registration) and an Arizona emissions certificate, if applicable. Stop by any AAA Arizona Branch office that offers vehicle title and registration services and we will be happy to get you started. 

Depending on where you live and/or commute to in Arizona, an emissions test might be needed if your vehicle is five years or older (excluding vehicles made in 1966 or earlier). For more details, please visit the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.

In Arizona, watercraft registrations are processed through the Arizona Game and Fish Department. AAA can, however, issue a title and registration for your boat trailer.

Not all insurance companies are authorized to provide coverage in Arizona, and the state of Arizona requires an Arizona-issued insurance policy. Out-of-state policies are not accepted, even if the provided coverage is in Arizona. A local AAA insurance agent can review your policy and make sure you’re covered. We have insurance agents at all AAA Arizona offices that offer vehicle title and registration services, or call us toll-free at 866-478-2541.

No. AAA cannot provide an Arizona driver’s license at this time. Please visit the Arizona MVD if you need a license.

Yes. If you’re traveling overseas and plan to drive a vehicle, you can get an international driving permit (IDP) at any AAA Arizona Branch. Keep in mind that an IDP is not a substitute for an Arizona driver’s license.
