A single certification from somebody whose name was written on a title by mistake. It says, in one sentence, that they never bought the vehicle, never took possession of it and have no interest in it - which is what MVD needs before the title can be assigned to whoever really did buy it.
Written against 46-0306 (R07/25), issued under A.R.S. 28-2059.
The person you need a signature from is, by definition, somebody who has nothing to gain from signing. Get it at the moment the mistake is noticed rather than a fortnight later, because a name written on a title stays there until its owner disclaims it.
Two documents, and they are not the same thing. Take the blank 46-0306 from the apps.azdot.gov copy so you get the revision that is current today.
This is the actual 46-0306, rendered from the PDF the Arizona Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division publishes and completed end to end: letterhead, every field, and the blocks at the foot.
Amber — you write it
Grey — not yours to fill
Numbered — explained below
One sentence, five fields, one signature - and the signature belongs to somebody who is not part of your sale at all. That is what makes this the hardest short form on the list to actually get.
Field by field
Every line, in the order you meet it
1
The buyer fills this in
Vehicle Identification Number, Year, Make
The vehicle being disclaimed.
Watch out: Take it from the title carrying the wrong name, so the two documents describe the same thing in the same way.
2
The buyer fills this in
Name
The person whose name was written on the title in error, exactly as it was written.
Watch out: Write it as it appears on the title. This form is answering a specific entry, and the counter matches the two.
3
The buyer fills this in
Street Address, City, State, Zip
Where that person lives.
Watch out: MVD lists the address among the form's required contents, so a signature with no address is an incomplete release.
4
The buyer fills this in
Signature and Date
Signed by the person releasing, and dated.
Watch out: There is no witness block, which means the whole document rests on the signature. Keep a copy before it goes to the counter.

What to put in it
The certification
The first thing on the sheet, above the fields: I certify that I did not purchase, nor did I take possession or ownership of, nor do I have any interest in the vehicle described below.
Vehicle Identification Number, Year, Make
The vehicle they are disclaiming.
Name (first, middle, last, suffix)
The person whose name was written in error.
Street Address, City, State, Zip
Their address, which MVD requires as part of the release.
Signature and Date
One signature. The person releasing signs; nobody witnesses it.
What gets this one rejected
•The owner signing it. This is signed by the person whose name was entered incorrectly, not by whoever entered it.
•Filing it alone. Where an error was made in the assignment area, MVD requires this and a Statement of Error together, so that one document disclaims and the other names the correct buyer.
•Leaving the address off. The form's required content is a complete description of the vehicle, the individual's name and address, and the individual's signature.
•Using it to undo a real sale. If the person did take the car, this is not the form - a re-assignment is.
Rules that decide whether it is accepted
•It arrives with the title. MVD's instruction is that the Release of Interest will be submitted, along with the title, at the time of transfer.
•Two documents, two authors. The release is filled out by the incorrect buyer releasing any interest in the vehicle; the Statement of Error is filled out by the registered owner stating who the correct buyer is.
•It is not a notarised document. There is no acknowledgement block on the form at all - which is unusual in this set, and makes it one of the few Arizona forms a person can complete and post.
