Montana requires that you be a resident of Montana to register your RV there.

But there’s a way around this…

A Montana LLC.

We open a Montana LLC for you (Dirt Legal will be the registered agent), and since it has a Montana address, you’ll be able to register all your vehicles under that LLC (which you own).

This means you’ll meet the residency requirements without having to be a resident. For more info, check out our complete guide here.

We’ll set up your Montana LLC instantly after receiving your order and you can expect your registration and plate in 1-2 weeks. Your title will arrive 1-2 weeks later. The LLC will get approved within 1 business day.

If you choose our “Temporary Tag” add-on, you can use the temp tag to ride within 1 business day.

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

Additionally, the title must not be labeled as 'junk' or 'salvage'. Rebuilt is okay.

Your LLC will need to be renewed yearly which is $125 a year for our auto-renewal option, and $150 for our one-time renewal. You can have us handle this for you automatically so you don’t have to worry about staying on top of registrations every year.

The renewal also includes our registered agent service, which is required to keep your LLC current in Montana.

It's simpler than you think! We’ve spent the better part of a decade finding the best insurance companies for these situations, so you don’t have to. Check out our insurance guide for more information.

Once your Montana LLC is set up 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 when you place your order and you’ll save up to $300.

If you already had Dirt Legal create an LLC for you and you would like to add another vehicle to that existing LLC, select “Yes, Dirt Legal has already set up an LLC for me” above.

In that case, we can set up your Montana LLC first here. Then once the vehicle is purchased, you can add it to your LLC by selecting “Yes, I already have a Montana LLC” on this page above.

We will email you a form to select your plate options after placing your order. Custom plates take 3-8 weeks, but we’ll send you a FREE temp tag when your documents are on the way to the DMV.

You can also order a temp tag sooner by selecting “Add 40-day temp tag” above – it’ll come within 1 business day. If your temp tag expires before you receive your custom plates, we’ll send you a new one.

Instead of waiting the usual 1-2 weeks before you can drive, you can purchase a 40-day temp tag to take your RV out within 1 business day!

Unless you plan on using the LLC to make money, you won't need to worry about filing a tax return for the LLC. You also won't need an EIN.

The only additional cost is the registration renewal if your plate isn’t permanent, and the yearly fee to keep your Montana LLC current. The cost is $125 per year ($150 for one-time renewal) and you can register for automatic renewal once your order is complete. There are no hidden fees or costs to get your vehicle registered!

Yes, we do! You can select Afterpay at checkout to split your payment in 4.

If you’re converting a vehicle to an RV, we can help you with that too. You will only need a local officer to visually inspect it and complete one additional form on your behalf, then provide their identification.

We will send you that form once you place your order.
