As with most states, AZ requires motorists to obtain compensation in order to legally operate a motor vehicle and proof financial responsibility must be shown before an automobile can be registered with the state. The Grand Canyon State allows residents to abide by this law in a few different way including obtaining a bond, certificate of deposit of cash in the amount of $40,000.
