If a vehicle is not found in MVD's systems when you issue a TRP you will need to add it.

2. The system will attempt to populate most fields automatically if a match to the VIN is found through VINtelligence. If no match is found, you will have to add manually. Any field with an asterisk (*) is required.

• VIN: A vehicle identification number (VIN) is a unique alpha-numeric code (generally 17 characters (if less than 17 characters, see VIN Type below)), including a serial number, used by the automotive industry to identify individual motor vehicles, towed vehicles, motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds. If the VIN is State Assigned by Arizona it will start with AZ followed by six digits (e.g. - AZ123456).
• VIN Type: The VIN Type field is used to indicate whether the VIN is Manufacturer Assigned or State Assigned. In most cases the VIN is Manufacturer Assigned.
• Vehicle Type: This field indicates the type of vehicle being registered: e.g. All Terrain Cycle, All Terrain Vehicle, Bus, Golf Cart, Moped, Motor Home, Motor Scooter, Motorcycle, Neighborhood Electric Vehicle, Passenger, Tent Trailer, Trailer, Travel Trailer, Truck, or Van.
• Make: This field refers to the name of the Manufacturer of the vehicle. (e.g. Ford, Toyota, Kia, BMW, Audi, Saab, etc.). NOTE: If a Make is populated when VINtelligence returns the vehicle details, you will not be able to edit this field unless Vehicle Type is Motor Homes or Cab & Chassis. If VINtelligence does not find a match and you need to add the Make manually--type only 2-3 characters of the manufacturer name in the Make field and they system will present options to choose from, including the corresponding NCIC code. Click the appropriate option from the list that appears
• Model: Type only the first 2-3 characters of the Model in the field and the system will present options to choose from.
• Model Year: This field indicates the year the vehicle was manufactured.
• Body Style: Used to indicate the body type of the vehicle (e.g. convertible, pickup, station wagon, limousine, stake bed truck, panel truck, etc.). This selection will vary based on the Vehicle Type indicated.
• Fuel Type: Indicates the type of fuel the vehicle uses (e.g. gasoline, diesel, hybrid, electric, hydrogen, etc.). If VINtelligence does not recognize the fuel type it will populate it as "Other" and you will need to select the correct fuel type.
• Factory List Price: The list price, also known as the Manufacturer Base Retail Price (MBRP). The MBRP is the price a vehicle costs without any add-ons requested by the buyer, view the Factory List Price topic for more information on obtaining a vehicle FLP.
  • This field should indicate the original Factory List Price of the vehicle at the time it was manufactured. If VINtelligenge is used to automatically populate the Vehicle Details, the Factory List Price will not be editable.
• Tonnage Rating: Half-ton, three-quarter-ton and one-ton are classifications for pickup trucks and SUVs that are used to generally classify them by their payload capacities, meaning the maximum weight a pickup or SUV can carry in its cargo and passenger areas. This field will be required for commercial vehicles.

• The dealer MUST indicate which plate the credit is coming from at the time the TRP is issued. If the plate is not indicated, the customer will need to work directly with the MVD/ATP or go to AZMVDNow.gov to request the Registration Credit
• When the TRP is issued and the plate is indicated in the TRP service, the registration on the trade-in vehicle is canceled in MVD's systems
• If there is any remaining Registration Credit, it will be placed in a locked “Credit Account” associated to the customer and the TRP. When the T & R Service is completed for the new vehicle, any funds in the Credit Account will be automatically transferred to either the Authorized Third Party completing the Title work or to the Dealer's MVD Account if processed by MVD. The customer CAN’T touch this money--it’s automatically transferred when T & R Service is done. See graphics below to see how the money works when title work processed at an ATP or MVD
• When the T & R service is processed on the vehicle with the TRP, the new vehicle's registration cycle will start the first day of the month following the issue date of the TRP
• If there is a balance remaining in the Credit Account after the T & R Fees for the new vehicle are paid, that balance is transferred to the Customer’s MVD Account. (Example: Registration Credit is $500 and Title & Registration Fees for new vehicle is $400, $400 will be transferred to either ATP or Dealer account and $100 transferred to Customer's account)

When using an Authorized Third Party (ATP) to complete the title work, this is how any Registration Credit will be handled:

The customer can go online at AZMVDNow.gov to make the request themselves or they can visit MVD or an Authorized Third Party to have them process the request.
