Due to the declared state-of-emergency certain requirements for vehicle registration remain suspended in Montana.  Dealerships have an additional 90 days to submit paperwork to county offices, and vehicle owners to title and register any vehicles transferred after March 16, 2020.  New Montana residents have a 90-day extension to title and register vehicles.

Mail-in/Drop-off renewals are 2-3 weeks behind, but area law enforcement is aware of this.  Titles and registration are 4-6 weeks from submission to payment and mailing of plates. 

If you plan on traveling out of state and have not been able to complete your title work, please print the Montana Motor Vehicles Division Governor’s Directive #2 to have with your current vehicle registration in the event you are pulled over.
