According to the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division, to apply for a driver’s license if you are currently licensed in another state, you should bring in your out-of-state driver license and one other form of identification, take the vision test, and pay the appropriate fee. There is no written test required.
The Arizona MVD does not say that proof of auto insurance is required to get a driver’s license. Normally, if you are taking a road test as part of your licensing process though you will need to show proof of insurance for the car before the driving on the roadways with the tester.
I is required in Arizona that every motor vehicle operated on roadways be covered by one of the statutory forms of financial responsibility, more commonly called liability insurance, through a insurer that is authorized to do business in Arizona.
