So I know before the site went on siesta there was some info on how to do it. I’m in Phoenix area and have gotten my car to the point I need to start driving and testing it so I need to get a title. Looking for advice on how to do it. I have no idea on where to start called the DMV and got no help any one with experience? Thank you all for any advice.

I tried to transfer my ca titled rail to az last summer the people in mvd were helpless, clueless and incompetent just flat out told me they couldnt do it and had no answer i cant imagine trying top get one titled here.

I ended up getting it figured out somewhat and they then only wanted to give mea full sized plate but gave up and just kept it ca registered since i would need emissions.I will revisit the process later this summer.

 
Bought a car 5 years ago with no title, just a lot of receipts. Made appt. with AZ DMV, told them I built the car, here are the receipts. They inspected and gave me a VIN right there. The whole experience took less than an hour. No problem

 
So I scheduled my appointment to get a title. I’m amazed it has to be a month out I guess I didn’t realize that so many people were trying to get titles but hay foot is in the door. I will keep you all updated on the process and what I find out.

pandemic and you being in phx is why the wait. if you were in socal it would be longer.  you can also try some of the 3rd party places and see what they can offer. getting adot to inspect and issue vin may not be the holdup, it may be mvd in phx.. dunno

 
So From what I’m seeing the vin will be issued then. I thing that there may be a back log from not doing the inspection. 

 
Stupid easy in Nevada,  DMV inspection station in back of the DMV, they fill you the paperwork off the VIN,  if no VIN they have a machine that will scribe in a number, or on a sandcar they will Scribe in a number on a plate then drill and install, 

send the paperwork in to the state capital, DMV with $25 check and you will have a title 

for more fun the Number i cam up with on my DD car goes the same as a number for a new car, it has paint codes and year codes, in the number,  

 
OK so I need help. I’ve tried to schedule my inspection twice here in Arizona and both times have been canceled without a reason is there a third-party place somewhere in the northwest valley where I can get this done don’t want to wait for the season to be over.

 
Ok so an update. After the second time service Az canceled my inspection I went into the adot inspection office. It was very nice and no line. The receptionist asked how she could help and I explained what was happening. Come to find out that it’s some it guy in a office some where that checks and makes sure appointments are filled out correct and if not it gets canceled. Here lies the problem to have a vin assigned the system needs a make model and year. Which if you build a car that has not ever had a known make model or year I.e. any tube chassis it’s insta cancel. So the Cricle continues cause when you call the message says to go to service Az and no option to talk to a human. 
 

the receptionist leans over and talks to a adot officer and they see the issue, so she scheduled me a new appointment that is two days away and the h 4 week wait. the officer tells me that even if I get a canceled notice to come  in. 
 

so appointment time car is on the trailer and yes I am impatient so I get there a half hr early. Still no line same receptionist smiles and tells me that she had been checking on my appointment to make sure that it was still there. She takes my license and fills out the paperwork letting me know to wait outside and the officer would be out in a minute. So I walk out side where a Lamborghini pulling into the bay. The inspectors come out and start going over his car. I strike up a conversation with the man and he starts geeking out on the sand car asking all types of questions about the gear box and motor. Next thing the inspector says that his car is done so we walk into the bay then I’m geeking out on his car with the inspectors. It turns out that the Lamborghini had been side swiped wiping out the drivers side and he had just replaced it all requiring the inspection for the vin replacement. 
 

as he pulls away I continue with the inspection officers and he loved the car. He had a injects VW with a type one trans so he had all types of sand car knowledge and we talked about glamis and changes that have happened. He walks back inside and comes out with the new vin and asked where I wanted it. Such a good experience. 
 

I was thinking man to do this job you gave to be a car guy and guess what they are. Very cool guys. 
 

after that it was in to the real mvd to get plate and registration. Lucky not busy and as I talk to the clerk she says that unless I can verify with recipes half the price I valued the car at I would need a bond. Ha I came prepared here is my recipes. The look of horror with the pile I gave her that she now had to scan in. I have never added up the recipes I got now I don’t want to. She stopped and haven’t made it a quarter of the way through the pile. Guess I should have valued it higher and here I thought I was high on value.  Lol not 

so for a bout a hour and a half under a hundred dollar and some new friends I  will be in mother G this season. 

 
Las Vegas was super easy,   

To double check i called the Nevada OHV dept, and they answered the phone with no wait time,  asked them if i can just Title the car, and gave me all the answers i needed,  pretty much can take it to the local OHV dealer, or just put a officers P number in and a check, then it is done, 

Sorry California, no moe money from me, LOL
