Montana Motorcycle Registration Service
Register your motorcycle under your very own Montana LLC
Congrats!
You’re almost there.
Nothing feels better than hitting the road on 2 wheels.
Which you’ll be able to do very soon.
Plus, with an LLC, you won’t have to worry about the 30-day transfer rule.
In a few minutes, we’ll be getting the paperwork ready for you and sent within 24 hours.
But first…
Before you order, here are some technicalities you’ll want to know about:
You cannot be financing your vehicle to use this service
You’ll be getting a Montana plate/title and an LLC with a Montana address.
You don't have to be a resident of Montana to get an LLC or registration there.
We set up your LLC for you, and Dirt Legal will be the registered agent, which means you still meet the residency requirements without having to be a resident.
“How can I get an out-of-state registration without being a resident?”
Simple.
Montana allows you to register from anywhere, but only if you’re a resident of Montana. When we set up your Montana LLC, we register your vehicle using your LLC as the owner instead of you. The LLC meets Montana’s residency requirement, and because the LLC is a resident of Montana, and you own the LLC, you can drive in other states with out-of-state plates.
And you won’t have to pay any taxes or file a tax return on your LLC as it will be classified as an asset-holding LLC!
Your plate will also be permanent so there is no need to renew it.
We’ll set up your Montana LLC instantly after receiving your order and it will get approved within 1 business day.
Once we receive your documents, here’s the time frame you can expect:
4-6 weeks to get your license plate and registration. Your title will arrive 6-8 weeks later.
As of February 2024, orders are taking up to 6 weeks due to the DMV being short-staffed, so we are providing a free 40-day temp tag shortly after sending your documents to the DMV for processing.
If you want a temp tag right away, you can purchase it by selecting "Yes, please send me a temp tag" when placing your order.
For us to register your vehicle, we require one of the following:
A valid title in your name
A title that has been signed over to you
If the title was issued in Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, or Pennsylvania, ensure that the seller has had the title notarized before sending it to us
A Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO) from the dealership where you purchased the vehicle, accompanied by a bill of sale
A transferable registration from a state that doesn’t issue titles
Additionally, the title must not be labeled as 'junk' or 'salvage'. Rebuilt is okay.

There's a reason Montana registrations are our most popular option — and one of the biggest reasons is the tax savings.

Insurance Recommendations
Of course, you’ll have to get your off-road vehicle insured for road use before you can drive it, however, we won’t need proof of insurance.
LLC Renewal
You will need to renew your LLC by April 15th each year for $125, which we can handle for you here. Please note that if your LLC is created after April 15th, it will need to be renewed by April 15th the next year, even if it was setup at the end of the year.
Frequently Asked Questions about Montana LLCs
-
The LLC is classified as an ASSET HOLDING LLC, not a REVENUE GENERATING LLC, therefore, no taxes will have to be filed.
-
You will want to get a policy in your name and your state with the LLC added as an additional interest. It will not be a commercial policy.
-
Once your Montana LLC is it set you can continue to add vehicles to that same LLC. All you need to do is select "Yes" that you have an existing Montana LLC with Dirt Legal when you place your order here. The cost will be the regular price minus $100.
-
If you already had Dirt Legal create an LLC for you and you would like to add another vehicle to that existing LLC, please visit this page.
