AZ – Arizona Revised Statutes

§28-4883 Vehicle crusher required

B. The person crushing the junk vehicle shall mail a copy of the written authorization to the department within five days of receipt of the written authorization certifying that the vehicle has been crushed and including the certificate of title, registration card and license plate or plates assigned to the vehicle. If the certificate of title, registration card or license plate or plates are not available, the person authorized to dispose of the junk vehicle shall forward the available documents and plates with a description of the vehicle, including the make, model, year, vehicle identification number, color and last known owner of the vehicle.

The legal fiction called a “vehicle” is being junked by “crushing” it, but the actual physical property doesn’t need to follow the same. These exact procedures don’t need to be followed and these laws probably shouldn’t be the executing authority, but they document what needs to happen to cancel the certificate of title so that we can own our cars privately outside their system.

§29-4884 Destroyed vehicles; certificates of title

A. On receipt of the written authorization, documents, license plates and information prescribed in section 28-4883, the department shall void the certificate of title to the vehicle and shall maintain a record of all vehicles destroyed pursuant to this article.

Once voided, they cannot reissue the certificate of title for your private automobile VIN. This doesn’t seem to prevent other states from committing this fraud, ahem Michigan.

Arizona cancels registration upon non-payment of registration fees: §28-2161

The department shall not renew a registration that is refused until the registration fees and the full amount of the delinquent fees, taxes or other assessments and penalties are paid.

and no one should want their automobile registered because it colors and converts your private automobile into a legal fictional “vehicle.”

§28-3301 License or permit cancellation

A. The department may cancel a driver license or permit on determining any of the following:

3. A person who signed an application for a driver license or permit or who was issued a driver license or permit files a written request with the department for cancellation of the license or permit including all of the following information:

(a) The name of the licensee or permittee.

(b) The driver license or permit number.

(c) The date of birth of the licensee or permittee or the expiration date of the driver license or permit.

4. The licensee failed to respond to a request by the department to update the licensee’s license.

5. The licensee has failed, refused or neglected to pay any fee, tax or assessment, or a penalty on the fee, tax or assessment, due to the department or for its account.

E. If voluntarily surrendered or requested by a licensee, the department shall cancel a nonoperating identification license. A nonoperating identification license canceled pursuant to this subsection is terminated without prejudice and shall be surrendered to the department.

§28-336 AZ shall not implement REAL ID Act from US DHS.

§28-812 Riding a Bike enjoins AZ traffic laws as a “legal person”
