AZ MVD Now is a secure, person- alized service with dozens of avail- able transactions that can be done online on your schedule. You can check your vehicle registration and emissions testing history, get a plate refund, view all your titles, transfer basic titles, take the learner's per- mit test (Permit Test @ Home), up- date insurance information, make appointments for road tests, and much more! Right now, you can get to AZ MVD Now using ServiceAri- zona.com. Setting up an account is easy and free! AZ MVD Now is part of a major overhaul of the MVD internal com- puter operating system that will al- low our employees to serve you fast- er and more effi ciently. While many of these changes will only affect how MVD staff do their work, there are some things customers will notice. For example, MVD will now issue items such as registration renewal tabs, license plates, and Off-High- way Vehicle tabs through the U.S. Mail instead of making them avail- able at offi ces. Driver licenses have been issued this way for several years, and distributing items such as these al- lows us to prepare for the growing demand for fulfi lling customer orders through the mail as MVD contin- ues to increase the number of ser- vices available online, anytime. Additionally, the computer change- over will require scheduled service interruptions for MVD and Autho- rized Third Party offi ces as well Ser- viceArizona.com later this year. The 2020 Census is important to Arizona communities. The 2020 Census is just around the corner. Every 10 years, the census counts every person living in the United States. This includes chil- dren, newborns, grandparents, friends, and anyone who is living or staying in your home. You can respond to the 2020 Census online, by phone or mail beginning March 12. When you respond, please count everyone in your household to ensure Arizona gets its share of funding for: Public Transportation, Schools, Health clinics, After-school programs, Roads, School lunch pro- grams, Playgrounds, Community senior centers, and other important programs that serve Arizonans.
