Fee Waivers

A.R.S. § 41-1080.01 states "an agency shall waive any fee charged for an initial license for any of the following individuals if the individual is applying for that specific license in this state for the first time: 

1.    Any individual applicant whose family income does not exceed two hundred percent of the federal poverty guidelines.
2.    Any active duty military service member's spouse.
3.    Any honorably discharged veteran who has been discharged not more than two years before application."

Instructions:

•    Submit your fee waiver request prior to submitting your initial application. Complete the paper application in conjunction with your online fee waiver application.
•    Failure to respond to all applicable questions may result in an automatic denial of your fee waiver request. If approved, please upload your approval email to your online initial application.
•    The Application for Waiver form and supporting documents must be submitted together.
Failure to submit all documents at the same time may result in the waiver being denied.
