Hi Alyssa. In the state of Arizona, AZ SR22 insurance is available for drivers through getting an insurance policy that has minimum amount of liability coverage. The SR22 insurance offers the same coverage being provided by the regular car insurance. It is in fact a form or a document used to prove that a particular driver meets the minimum required liability insurance coverage.
The only difference between the two is that once your insurance provider issues you AZ SR22, your insurer will automatically contact the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division if you cancel the SR22 policy, the policy lapses, or you have removed a vehicle from your policy.

Do I Need Car Insurance Before Getting AZ Driver License?
Reader’s Question:
Do I need a car insurance first before I can get a license? I live in Glendale, Arizona.
Miranda
Glendale, AZ
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.

Thank you for asking Kim.
You can receive 6, 4 or 2 points for failure to stop for a traffic signal depending on if you caused death, serious injury or only ran the light in the state of AZ. The AZ DOT Motor Vehicle Division states that there is a new state law that requires any individual who violates the red light statues to attend Traffic Survival School.
If you fail to attend the school, their driving privileges will be suspended or revoked until the class is completed. As for the moving violation conviction, it will be recorded on your drivers history and remain on the record for 5 years.
Each insurance companies use different rating system so to find out how your moving violation will affect your rates, you may contact your insurance carrier. Also to find out your insurance company’s rate you may contact the Arizona Department of Insurance. This is a state agency with which insurance providers must file their rates.

I Got a Speeding Ticket Will It Affect My Arizona Insurance?
Reader’s Question:
I received a speeding ticket in LA, will this be added points in my Arizona license?
Henry
Thank you for asking Henry.
Louisiana and Arizona are both members of the Drivers License Compact. This requires all member state to report back to the state in which a motorist is licensed any conviction of traffic tickets. So the Arizona Department of Transportation should be informed by the LA DMV about this speeding ticket you received in LA.
The Transportation section of Arizona statues gives details on the DLC and Arizona’s participation. It does not say if points for out of state offenses will be assigned points or if the offense will be recorded onto your driving record.
According to the Arizona DOT Motor Vehicle Division they indeed would be informed of this out of state ticket and it would then go on your Arizona driving record and that points would be assessed. You may contact the AZ DOT to get more information on this.
Goodluck!

Reader’s Question:
I have a CDL and I received a speeding ticket and it has been in my license for almost 3 years. I just want to know when it will come off my record? I live in AZ.
Carl
Thank you for asking Carl.
The Arizona Driver’s Manual states that each time you are convicted or forfeit bail for a moving violation, points are assessed against your permanent driving record.
According to the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) a violation is taken off your driving record five years from the date of conviction. There is no information that state that when will the points come off . They do say that any convictions received and showing on your driving record within the past 39 months will be provided to an insurance company.
Since neither the AZ driver’s manual nor the MVD site state how long points stay on your driving record you may contact the AZ DOT directly to to get more information and to find out how long points for your previous speeding offense will remain on your record and if it will differ for you since you have a CDL.
Goodluck!

Can I Insure A Car Registered To My Parents?
Reader’s Question:
My sister is using a car registered in the name of our father. She lives in Ohio and moved to AZ. How will she be able to insure and register the car under her name? The car also has a lien on it. Thanks.
Paolo
Thank you for asking Paolo
The Arizona DOT states that an out-of-state title with a loan recorded against the motor vehicle, so that the title is being held by a lender in another state, the individual must give registration from the former state though the title may not be required. This does not help if your sister was not part of the registration or title in Ohio. If with the loan it is possible for your father to put your sister on the title as a co-owner I believe this would make the transfer process easier.
As for insurance Arizona state law requires that the insurance providers and the owner provide proof of Arizona car insurance within 30 days after initial registration. Your sister should contact Arizona’s DOT Motor Vehicle Division to get more information if and how he can register and insure the vehicle.
Goodluck!
