LICENSE REQUIREMENTS
An ADWM license is required for any commercial weighing, measuring or counting device used for commercial purposes in Arizona. If you are obtaining a license in the name of an individual, A.R.S. § 41-1080 requires you to fill out a form and submit proof of citizenship. To see the form, and the types of documents that are accepted as proof of U.S. citizenship, click here
NEW DEVICES
An ADWM device license must be obtained within the first 30 days of commercial use of the device (R-20-2-201). To obtain a device license, just send a completed Placed In Service Report (PISR). You will be issued a Business Multi-Function (BMF) number and billed for the device licenses once the PISR is reviewed and approved. Your BMF number is your Agency ID number.
Licensed device changes must be reported to the Department within 7 days of the change. If transferring a license, the new licensee shall notify the Department of the following: new business name, address and the location of the device(s). NOTE: all devices used for commercial purposes must be NTEP-approved.
