First confirm your insurance agent will write you a letter stating that your vehicle is a "collectible vehicle". Then you need to get that letter to the Motor Vehicle Division.

Hard way:

Take that hard copy original letter to one of the big room MVD places and present it to a counter clerk to update the registration of your vehicle.

Easier Way:

My agent did everything for me. She contacted the main number, 602-255-0072 and pressed 0 to speak directly to a level 1 clerk. Then asked to be forwarded to the mandatory insurance department. There she discussed the vehicle with a level 2 clerk and then faxed that clerk a copy of the letter (602-712-3288). My insurance agent called MVD back about 30 minutes latter to confirm the fax arrived and the vehicle registration was updated to be exempt from emission testing. I was then able to use the Service Arizona website to pay my taxes with no testing.
