Do you need a front license plate in Arizona?

No. Arizona law requires license plates to be displayed on the rear of a motor vehicle [1]. Even when two plates are issued for a vehicle, the owner may display just one plate on the rear — displaying one on the front and one on the rear is an option, not a requirement [1]. Accordingly, the department provides only one license plate for each registered vehicle unless the owner requests and pays a fee for an additional plate [2]. The one exception in the law concerns vehicles issued two special plates for wheelchair accessibility: those vehicles must display one plate on the rear and one on the operator's wheelchair carrier or lift [1].
