The Chinle AZ DMV Office at Hwy 191 Apache Complex recently underwent a change. As of March 29, 2024, it has relocated to a new and larger building at the same complex [azdot.gov/news/new-chinle-mvd-building-opens-march-29].

Unfortunately, there’s no official list categorizing Chinle as a full-service or limited-service office. However, based on the information available, here’s what we can tell you about the services offered:

Possible Full Service:

  • There’s a good chance the new Chinle MVD office offers a full range of driver and vehicle licensing services, similar to other Arizona MVD offices. This is because it’s a new and larger facility likely intended to handle a broader range of needs.

Here’s what a full-service MVD office typically offers:

  • Driver’s Licenses: Issuing new licenses (commercial and non-commercial), renewals, replacements, written knowledge tests (if required), road skills tests (for some transactions).
  • Identification Cards: Issuing new state IDs, renewals, replacements.
  • Vehicle Titling and Registration: Processing new titles, transfers between owners, registering new vehicles, renewals, replacing lost documents.
  • Other Services: Handicap placards/plates, permit applications (learner’s permits), reporting vehicle sales, address changes, specialty license plates.

To confirm services offered:

  • The Arizona MVD website might not yet reflect the expanded services at the new Chinle office. It’s best to contact them directly:

Limited Service Possibility (Less Likely):

  • On August 7th, 2023, a search result indicated the Chinle MVD was closed due to electrical issues and may have offered limited services at the time [azdot.gov/az-cities/driver-license-cdl-and-title-registration]. Given the new building and its larger size, this scenario is less likely.

The Arizona Department of Transportation (MVD) office in Chinle is located at Hwy 191 Apache Complex, Chinle, 86503. 

You can contact the MVD online, by live chat, or by phone at (602) 255-0072. You can also schedule appointments for services such as road tests, driver’s license renewal, and travel IDs at AZMVDNow.gov.
