Clear, clean, non branded title. Something new for Arizona, apparently they do not issue paper titles and they are all online.

 

No Paper title???? Hhhhmmm......

 

I can see all sorts of problems down the road with that. If there's a server crash for instance, you might nit be able to transfer it. In a worst case scenario, the titles can disappear or someone can hack the system and monkey with the ownership. Look at Texas. Instead of tried and true, they went their own way on power and now people are getting $17,000 power bills.

 

I am not a fan of the idea either. But for now, it's MY truck :-) it documented and not branded. I was able to print out a paper title on my printer for what ever that's worth. I scheduled an appoint for tomorrow with MVD to put this to bed for good. I originally applied for title only but while I am there tomorrow I think I will register it too for peace of mind. Their website says they are converting over to some now super dooper high tech digital system, I am older I don't take to changes like that real well... LOL. It is legally mine and here in AZ we do love our 2A rights if someone sees it differently.

 

Wonder how they process trades ....... Or especially trading or selling out of state?
The times I purchased out of state I had to turn in the previous owners title.

 

Alrighty.... I went to MVD. Apparently AZ gives the option to receive a printed title or remain digital. Apparently the default is digital. Even tho when I was there last and the employee stated I should receive my title within 7 to 10 working days (excluding weekends and "holidays") she failed to click the paper title option. I asked why someone would elect to stay digital and the response was that some people prefer it that way. *slaps forehead*
I was surprised my preferred choice for a personalized place was still available so I took care of that while I was there just to make sure it does not slip away.
Now to get it moved into the garage and get the blown engine out.................

 

I asked about that. I am told the seller would have to log onto the AZ portal print out a copy of the title, have it notarized, use the AZ MVD title transfer feature on their website and follow the directions..... I know, I know seems vague and sketchy to me as well. I am not to to question it any further, please Lord just let me get through this... LOL

 

Well, if you need a paper copy, you can just print the digital version, right? Personally I'd prefer it that way. Less clutter, easy to locate and digital does not degrade. Just be sure to save it redundantly in case you lose it in one location.

I save my receipts digitally. If a part has lifetime warranty, I could print it out thirty years from now. I've had folks at auto parts store argue with me because I printed a receipt over ten years old. They'd says something like "we no longer have lifetime warranty on this part" and i'd simply underline the text for them and say, "you did back then."

 

Every title I've ever dealt with was on special paper with water marks. The reason being it's considered a bearer bond. My last title (a month ago) is on paper like a dollar bill and the oldest title I have for a trailer I've had for 30+ years is too.

 

Things have changed, friend. Out with the old, in with the new. Soon all the states will be doing it. Speaking of dollar bills, I know people in the service industry who get upset when a customer hands them physical money in these times. In parts of Asia, they're moving away from using credit cards, much less cash. Bitcoin's value is high for a reason. It's the times we live in.
