Arizona motor vehicle registration kiosks now accept cash

February 24, 2017

Kiosks that accept cash transactions are now operating at 22 motor vehicle division offices throughout Arizona, the agency said, according to The Republic.

Kiosks have been an MVD fixture for years, but until recently only accepted credit or debit cards.

More than half of MVD transactions can be performed at a ServiceArizona kiosk or online for no additional fee, the agency said. Among the transactions available are vehicle registration renewal, ordering a specialty license plate, getting a replacement license or ID, filing a sold notice and obtaining a motor vehicle record, the agency said.

"There's been a noticeable increase in kiosk usage since we implemented the cash option," said MVD Director Eric Jorgensen. "Compared to a year ago at this time, the kiosk usage has increased more than 50 percent. Part of that is due to higher overall customer awareness of kiosks, but there’s been a definite uptick in usage since the cash kiosks were put in place."
