tion, 3.3 million transactions were processed through
ServiceArizona.com by businesses like car dealer-
ships, bringing the total to 7.7 million transactions.
ServiceArizona is accessible through desktops, laptops
and mobile devices.
4 million: That’s the number of 2015 transactions
processed by Authorized Third Party businesses conve-
niently located around the state. It’s an increase from
3.8 million in 2014.
By comparison, Motor Vehicle Division offices, which
typically handle more complex transactions, processed
3.1 million in 2015.
22, another notable number: It’s how many Autho-
rized Third Party businesses offer assistance with
driver licenses and identification cards in addition to
the vehicle title and registration services available at
most authorized businesses. That’s an increase from
seven such businesses in 2014. The Motor Vehicle Divi-
sion aims to continue to increase that number.
Offering more options to customers is among the
many ways the Motor Vehicle Division is improving
service and meeting Governor Doug Ducey’s call for
innovation and efficiency in state government.
“At MVD, our vision is to get Arizona ‘out of the line
and safely on the road.’ Our private industry partners
and online service options through ServiceArizona.com
make these important transactions more convenient for
Arizonans to conduct,” Motor Vehicle Division Director
Eric Jorgensen said.
Other alternatives include 39 ServiceArizona kiosks
located in many Motor Vehicle Division offices and
a few city courthouses. These kiosks offer the same
functionality as the ServiceArizona website.
