A.R.S. § 28-4545: Dealer Plate-Free Moves
Manufacturer's and dealer's permit to move without license plates
How far can an Arizona vehicle manufacturer move a car without license plates?
In Arizona, a manufacturer of motor vehicles, trailers, or semitrailers may move them up to seventy-five miles, and a dealer in new ones may move them up to fifty miles, without registration or license plates, or a further distance if the department authorizes it. The moves must be to or from the factory, a railway depot, a vessel, a place of shipment or delivery, or a salesroom. The mover must first get a written permit from the department or the local authority over the highway, and each vehicle must display a placard with the manufacturer's name and address that is plainly readable from one hundred feet during daylight.
