CLIFTON – Greenlee County residents will soon be able to complete motor vehicle and driver services without crossing county lines.

The Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division will reopen its Clifton office on Thursday, June 24. The office will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursdays every week. With the exception of road tests, all services will be available.

“MVD is pleased to be able to provide in-office service again to the residents of Clifton and Greenlee County,” MVD field operations administrator Michael Cryderman said. “We look forward to serving and meeting the needs of these communities.”

Resolved staffing issues, which were exacerbated by the pandemic, allowed MVD to reopen the office. The Clifton MVD office is located in Three Way, where state highways 75 and 78 meet US 191 near the Greenlee County Airport.

On the days the office isn’t open, customers can complete MVD services by going online at AZMVDNow.gov or ServiceArizona.com; visit an MVD or Authorized Third Party office location in nearby Safford, Willcox or other locations; or call MVD at 602-255-0072.

Two-thirds of all MVD services and transactions can be completed at AZMVDNow.gov. Here’s a sampling of what can be done online:

  • Renew vehicle registration
  • Renew driver license
  • Order a replacement driver license or ID card
  • Change your address
  • Order specialty and personalized license plates
  • Submit a sold notice

More than 2 million Arizonans have activated their accounts and are taking advantage of convenient, self-serve options to complete their business with MVD.
