Broad- way, Blythe, Ca Have you gotten your Travel ID? It's a driver license or ID card that meets the federal requirements for acceptable forms of ID for airports and federal buildings. Don't be grounded! If you don't have a federally- accepted form of ID as of October 1, 2020, the federal TSA may not allow you to get on your fl ight. Make an appointment now at ServiceArizona.com to get your Travel ID. You'll need one type of documentation proving your identity such as a birth certifi cate or Passport. A second type of documentation that shows your Social Security number is also needed. Finally, you will need to have two forms of documentation such as a utility bill or mortgage statement to prove Arizona residency. Avoid any hassle and get the Travel ID as soon as possible. For more details, go to www.azdot.gov/travelid SELLING OR BUYING A CAR IN A PRIVATE SALE? You can do your banking online, pay your water bill online, and buy every- thing from AA batteries to zirconia jewelry on the web. Why not transfer title on a car, truck or other vehicle online? You can! With eTitle, Arizona- registered cars with no liens or brands (such as a salvage title) can be transferred online when it's a one-owner to one-owner transfer. It's very easy and saves you from making a trip to an MVD or Authorized Third Party offi ce. Learn more at www.azdot.gov/etitle SPEAKING OF ONLINE…Since we introduced the Permit Test @ Home in March, about 43,000 potential teen drivers have taken the test digitally. Instead of coming to an MVD offi ce with a parent or guardian for the test, it can now be done at a time that's convenient for the teen as well as the parent or guardian. It also means thousands fewer people had to come to an MVD offi ce, freeing up more time for us to serve those who do need our services. THESE INNOVATIONS ARE POSSIBLE BECAUSE… Of a relatively new service portal called AZ MVD Now. Go to www. ServiceArizona.com and set up your free AZ MVD Now account. It allows you access to eTitle, Permit Test @ Home, as well as other services like managing your registration renew- als and even putting funds in your account for future MVD needs or even as a gift voucher! GETTING YOU OUT OF LINE The time it takes to get in and out of an MVD offi ce is very important. MVD's vision is to "Get Arizona out of line and safely on the road." These innovations have helped re- duce the average door-to-door time from about 52 minutes in 2015, to just over 20 minutes now. That time is given back to you!
