If you have recently moved to a new state or purchased a vehicle, it is a requirement to have it inspected at an authorized station, before being able to get your car registered. For example, if you have moved to Maryland then you will need to search for maryland state inspection to get your vehicle inspected. There are three types of vehicle inspections that may be required by the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles: Level I, Level II and Level III. Level II and Level III types of inspections can only be done at at the MVD, but Level I inspections may be done at a Motor Vehicle Third Party provider that is authorized by the State of Arizona and is qualified to perform Level I inspections.
Vehicle I inspections match the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the vehicle ownership documents to determine the identity of the vehicle, and (in some cases) to verify that the vehicle is properly equipped for highway use. If applicable, you will need three items for an inspection:
-Proof of ownership, usually a title
-Valid driver license
-Receipts or invoices for all component parts that have been repaired or replaced.
Vehicles that are being titled in Arizona for the first time may need a Level 1 inspection to verify the VIN and odometer. These inspections match the VIN (vehicle identification number) to the vehicle ownership documents in order to determine the identity of the vehicle.
Level I inspections are also required for out-of-state that do not have proof of title and/or registration, and for bonded titles. This is the most common type of vehicle inspection and most vehicles do not need other inspections or verification.
Many motorists choose to have their level I vehicle inspections done at a third party MVD provider as it saves time and inconvenience. Come in to one of our six Desert Title locations and get your Level I inspection done today!

Catherine,
Unfortunately LV II or LV III inspections can only be completed by the AZMVD Enforcement officers. Desert Title can only completed a Level I inspection. You can find more information for the LV II/III inspections at AZ MVD LV II/II Inspection

My car is required level one to get title,if I take it to emission and pass do I still have to do the level one inspection?
For a regular vehicle, a level one is only needed to obtain a title only for a non-operational vehicle. If your vehicle can pass emissions, you can come in and title and register it, no level one inspection needed.
Is there a legal obligation for the sellerto do a “safety inspection” on a motorcycle prior to a sale?
If the vehicle has been salvaged then it cannot be registered until it has been restored and would require a “Safety Inspection” to be reclassified as restored salvage in order to be registered.

my father passed away and left me his 1973 truck, but i can’t find the title, and it hasn’t been registered in so long the MVD has no record of it. is that a level 1 inspection requirement? I’d like to get the ownership situation dealt with before i put any money into it.
If there is no record of the vehicle you will need to do a bonded title. That process does require a Level 1 inspection to begin.
Is a level 1 required for level 2? Home built motorcycle needs vin and title.
You will need a Level 2/3 inzpection to ensure the safety of the vehicle. These must be done at a state office.
