    printer friendly version

    Question: Can a minor have a car title under their name?

    Answer: After researching this question and discussing it with analysts at the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) we have concluded that there is no law that prohibits a minor from holding title to a vehicle.

    However, all vehicles must be insured if they are operated on Arizona streets or highways. A minor cannot enter into a binding contract and, thus, insurance companies will not enter into a contract with a minor to insure a vehicle. MVD advises us that some insurance companies will cover the vehicle by entering into a contract with a person who is not the owner, thus, a minor/owner might be able to have their car insured if the parent entered into the insurance contract for them.

    Another option is Arizona Revised Statute 28-4084 which allows a $40,000.00 certificate of deposit to be posted to cover the financial responsibility requirements rather than having an insurance policy to insure the vehicle. There is no age limit for depositing the certificate of deposit in lieu of insurance.

    Im 16 and I have a job so i've been looking for a car that im going to buy with my own money. And i think that if im going to buy it with my own money that i should be able to put my name on the title. My mother doesnt think i can put my name on the title as the owner because i am only 16. Can i or cant i?

    a sixteen year old has no way to take care of a car unless they drop school and work for the rest of their life and make pretty good pay
