  1. 1

    Tell us about the vehicle

    Send the year, make, model, VIN, and current title or purchase documents. Financed and leased vehicles are fine — we explain the lienholder paperwork below.

  2. 2

    We file your Montana LLC

    We form a Montana LLC in your name and serve as your registered agent at our Helena office. Filing is submitted to the Montana Secretary of State, typically approved in one business day.

  3. 3

    We title and register the vehicle

    The LLC becomes the registered owner. We handle the county treasurer titling, permanent registration where eligible, and the pass-through of state fees.

  4. 4

    Plates and documents ship to you

    Montana plates, registration, and your LLC records are couriered to your address. Total turnaround runs 3–7 business days from complete paperwork.

Special cases

Financed, leased, and imported vehicles

These vehicles are registrable, but they carry extra paperwork. Here is what to expect before you commit.

Financed vehicles

The lender must agree to title the vehicle to your Montana LLC and be listed as lienholder. Some specialty lenders do this routinely; many banks decline. We confirm your lender's position before you pay.

Leased vehicles

The lessor holds the title, so registration through an LLC requires the leasing company's cooperation and a lease that permits it. Our Concierge tier handles the paperwork where the lease allows.

Imported vehicles

Imported and gray-market vehicles need a clean US title or bonded title before registration. We provide guidance on the documentation Montana requires and coordinate the county filing.
