Arizona MVD Expands Outsourcing of Vehicle Registration

It’s important to remember that you can renew your vehicle registration online and pay with a card. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! However, the MVD contracted with CheckFreePay to give owners an additional 500 additional locations state-wide to pay their registration renewal in person, for an additional $3.00 “convenience fee”.

Eggs…bread…milk…vehicle registration renewal. Yes, renewing your vehicle’s registration can now be completed during a trip to the grocery store, and many other locations, too.

In 2019, more than 1.5 million registration renewal transactions were processed at in-person locations (MVD offices, kiosks, or Authorized Third Party offices).

Most locations are in grocery and convenience stores however, in the 85035 Zip Code, one of the most densely populated zip codes in Phoenix, there are only 3 locations, all at check-cashing stores.

“We’re constantly looking for solutions that give customers more options to complete transactions with MVD at their convenience, CheckFreePay is another convenient, easy way to renew a registration that some customers will appreciate.”

MVD Director Eric Jorgensen

Walmart stores will accept registration renewal payments in early 2021. Customers will need to provide the last two numbers of their vehicle’s VIN and record number, which can be found in the registration renewal mailer or email sent to customers. Upon paying, the registration will update instantly in MVD’s system and customers will receive their renewal tab in the mail.
