What happens after you send it
- 1Tell 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.
- 2We file your Montana LLC
We form a Montana LLC in your name and serve as your registered agent at our Bozeman office. Filing is submitted to the Montana Secretary of State, typically approved in one business day.
- 3We 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.
- 4Plates and documents ship to you
Montana plates, registration, and your LLC records are couriered to your address. Total turnaround is up to 2 weeks from complete paperwork, usually faster.
Prefer to ask something first? Email hello@montanaplateco.com and a team member replies within one business day. State filing fees and county registration fees are passed through at cost and shown on your invoice. Montana charges no sales tax on the purchase.
Questions about the quote
Nothing is charged to build one, and every line can change before you approve it.
Do I pay anything to build a quote?
No. The quote builder prices your vehicle by MSRP bracket, home state, and the add-ons you choose, then sends it to us for review. Nothing is charged until a team member confirms the paperwork and you approve the final figure. State and county fees are itemized and pass through at cost.
Read the full guideCan I change my quote after sending it?
Yes. The quote is a starting point, not a commitment. When a team member replies with the document checklist, you can add or remove the LLC option, temp tag, or custom plate, switch service levels, or correct the vehicle details. The final itemized figure is confirmed before any payment.
Read the full guideWhat documents do I need to register a car through a Montana LLC?
The signed title or the manufacturer's certificate of origin assigned to the LLC, a copy of your driver's license, the VIN and odometer reading, and proof of insurance with the LLC as the named insured. Financed vehicles add the lender's consent; bill-of-sale-only vehicles need a bonded title first.

Within one business day. A quote sent through the start form gets a reply with a document checklist and your final itemized figure; an email to hello@montanaplateco.com gets the same. Once your signed paperwork is in, plates follow in up to 2 weeks.

Montana LLC car registration: the step-by-step process
To register a car in Montana with an LLC, you form a Montana LLC with a registered agent, title the car to the LLC at a county treasurer's office, pay Montana's age-based registration fee, and receive Montana plates. With a service the whole process takes up to 2 weeks from complete paperwork, and you never visit Montana.
Read the guideMontana LLC cost for vehicle registration, itemized
A Montana LLC for vehicle registration costs about $935 to $1,860 all in for most vehicles as of September 2026: the $35 Secretary of State filing fee, a Montana LLC from $150, Standard Registration from $749 by MSRP bracket, and Montana title, plate, and county fees passed through at cost. There is no Montana sales tax on the purchase.
Read the guideMontana LLC for non-residents: car registration explained
Yes. A non-resident can form a Montana LLC, and that LLC can title and register a car in Montana. You do not need a Montana address, driver's license, or visit; a registered agent in Montana supplies the in-state address. What a non-resident still owns is their home state's use-tax and registration rules, which depend on where the car is kept.
