Motor Vehicles Overview

Figuring out the best way to get around is important when you’re in a new installation. It’s useful to understand the various regulations, local laws as well as license and registration requirements. Whether you need a driver’s license, transport a car overseas or want help buying a car, there are people to assist you at your new installation. Check out the topics below to find information and regulations on vehicles and registration at your base.

Subtopics

Personnel reporting for duty must register their vehicle within 30 days of their reporting date. In order to register your vehicle you must provide the following:

  • Valid Armed Forces Identification card (AFID/CAC)
  • Valid state registration for the vehicle
  • Valid state operator’s/driver license
  • Proof of valid insurance. Must make sure your insurance company knows that it is being garaged in Arizona. Must have all drivers listed on insurance.
  • If under 26 years of age must show verification of Driver's Improvement Course (Arrive Alive @ 25). You may obtain this off of Marine On Line (MOL) and print out your basic training record (BTR) or show actual certificate.
  • If driver is NOT the Registered Owner (RO), operator must have a notarized letter from RO to operate vehicle more than 24 hours and have insurance with their name on the policy. You still must register the vehicle if only using for less than 24 hours.

Active Duty Marines do not need to register their vehicle with the State of AZ. The State of AZ allows active duty military to have a Military Exemption, (You may obtain from the Law Center on base) if their home of record/legal residency is not AZ.

For further information or questions please contact Pass and Registration Office 928-269-2888.

State and local laws regulate the operation of motor vehicles, and these laws can vary by location. Many states regulate the following:

  • Seatbelt use
  • Child safety seats
  • Motorcycle operation
  • The use of cellphones and other digital devices while driving

See Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division website for more information.

Motorcycles and their operators are subject to special laws. If you own and operate a motorcycle, you must comply with those laws. Visit Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division website for more information.

Many States and local jurisdictions have strict laws about the use of cell phones and other digital devices while driving. Research these laws on Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division website. Play it safe and always use a “hands free” device if you must use a cell phone or other PDA while driving. Hands-free devices must be used while operating a motor vehicle on ALL military installations worldwide.
