Does Arizona license moving companies?

No. Arizona has no state mover licence. Check for a USDOT if the move crosses state lines, and check insurance and the name on the truck either way.

Does the state rule apply to an interstate move?

No. A move that crosses the state line is under FMCSA rules: written estimate, binding or non-binding, the 110% rule, and a USDOT you can check on SAFER.

Where do I complain about a mover in Arizona?

In-state: the Arizona Attorney General consumer complaint. Interstate: the FMCSA National Consumer Complaint Database, and the hotline for a hostage load.

Moving in Arizona: two parents carry the first brown corrugated boxes toward the open doorway, both hands supporting each box underneath.

What to know before the deposit

Arizona does not license movers as movers. State law since 2011 requires a written estimate and bars a mover from holding goods for more than that estimate. The Attorney General's office is the desk.

Registered is not the same as good. A state credential means the office can find the company and that it filed what the state requires. Read the dated reviews, then call.

Cities we hold rows for

310 dated review rows across Phoenix, as of 3 Nov 2026. Each has a moving-to page with costs; cities with three or more mover profiles also have a movers page, listed above with every other Arizona city we hold movers for.
