Finding Manuals and Handbooks

The Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) knows that an educated driver is a good driver, so it publishes numerous manuals and handbooks on not only the requirements for driver's licenses, but also topics such as safe driving and vehicle maintenance. The publications cover each subject in full and serve as valuable resources for those who want to invest time in improving their knowledge of an activity whose importance many people overlook.

The manuals and handbooks are available at your local MVD or third-party office, but some are also available in PDF format online. You can download them for free if you have Adobe Reader, which is also free.

Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide

The Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide will help you get started on the process of applying for an Arizona driver's license and passing the required written and behind-the-wheel exams. It is also available in a Spanish version.

Motorcycle Operator Manual

For those who are interested in seeing the road on the back of a motorcycle, there is the Motorcycle Operator Manual. This publication will give you a thorough understanding of motorcycle law and safety.

Commercial Driver License Manual

While the entire commercial driver's license (CDL) manual is not available online (you must pick one up at your local MVD CDL office), the Arizona MVD does offer the section related to school bus drivers in PDF form.
