Kiosks that accept cash now are available at 22 Motor Vehicle Division offices in Arizona.

Kiosks that accept cash transactions are now operating at  22 Motor Vehicle Division offices throughout Arizona, the agency said.

Kiosks have been an MVD fixture for years but until recently only accepted credit or debit cards.

More than half of MVD transactions can be performed at a ServiceArizona kiosk or online at ServiceArizona.com for no additional fee, the agency said. Among the transactions available are vehicle registration renewal, ordering a specialty license plate, getting a replacement license or ID, filing a sold notice and obtaining your motor vehicle record, the agency said.

“There’s been a noticeable increase in kiosk usage since we implemented the cash option,” said MVD Director Eric Jorgensen in a statement. “Compared to a year ago at this time, the kiosk usage has increased more than 50 percent. Part of that is due to higher overall customer awareness of kiosks, but there’s been a definite uptick in usage since the cash kiosks were put in place.

"It’s a continuation of our vision to get people out of line and safely on the road.”

Cash kiosks handle all paper U.S. currency and are able to make exact change. The machines also accept personal checks.
