Arizona law requires an Arizona driver license immediately once you become a resident, for example by working in Arizona, enrolling children in school at resident rates, staying seven months or more in a calendar year, or registering to vote.

Register an out-of-state vehicle as soon as you become an Arizona resident. A $15, 90-day resident registration is available if your paperwork is not complete yet.
