MVD stands for Motor Vehicle Division, a driving abbreviation.
Name of the motor vehicle agency in Arizona, New Mexico and Montana, among other states, responsible for licensing drivers and registering vehicles. Arizona's MVD is part of the state Department of Transportation (ADOT).
Example: Arizona lets you skip the MVD line by using an authorized third-party office for your title transfer.
Usage notes
In New Mexico the MVD sits within the Taxation and Revenue Department, and in Montana within the Department of Justice. Arizona driver's licenses famously did not expire until age 65, one of the longest validity periods in the US. The abbreviation is also used for agencies in some other countries.
