MPH on my gauge clusters (1 Viewer)

[Funner]

Ended up only needing a Level 1 inspection... and they didn't even bat an eye at the cluster. Passed inspection.

Now they want my Vehicle Export Certificate translated (even though it's a side-by-side English/Arabic document)... it was good enough for the Feds but not for AZ I guess.

Anyone have a good line on certified document translation?

I would accuse them of being racist, call CNN and report them. You’ll get your paperwork and a million dollars in 24 hours.
Honestly, I would try another office or go through a private title agency and see where that gets you.

I got the distinct feeling that it was purely a decision of the particular lady I had working with me... she just wanted a translation.

I was tempted to try another office as well. Private title agency... hmm...

Although I found a translator... i'll only cost me around $50 for my FJ40 and FJ75 document to be translated.

It's a bit absurd though... there are quantifiably more English words than Arabic on the whole document.

And the private title companies can't do cars from out of country. But they did advise me to try another office as my document should have been good enough.

I would go back to the same office and try a different officer.

So I went to another MVD, North Phoenix, first thing this morning. Ran into another fiasco... this guy told me my side-by-side Arabic/English document was "perfect" and what they needed. But then he went down the rabbit hole of no EPA or DOT documents approving the car... "it's newer than 1972 and must meet DOT safety standards blah, blah, blah...". He also said I had to go back and do a Level 2 (the Level 2 guys told me only Level 1, and I have a passed Level 1 already). I finally gave up, took my docs, and left.

Then I went back to Scottsdale MVD later this morning. The guy was super helpful and I had my title, tag, and registration in 20 minutes.

Bottom line... all you need is the export certificate and CBP Form 7501. All my research said that, and in the end it proved true.

Sheesh...

Glad you got it worked out.. well worth the hassle to have a bad ass ride in the states!

I imported my FJ45 from down under, has kilometer gauge and is registered and titled in AZ. I went to the Scottsdale DMV and had no issues.
