Montana LLC RV Registration Service
Registration is a complete hassle to do by yourself.
With this process, you’ll get a registration in your hands without going to the DMV…
Calling the DMV…
Doing any inspections or emissions tests…
Or anything else besides filling out the step-by-step questionnaire we send you and notarizing a document or two.
Please note: We will need a valid title to register your vehicle. If your title is not properly signed over to you or the LLC, we may need additional documentation.
Before you get started, read below for some things you need to know:
You cannot be financing your vehicle to use this service
If your vehicle is a bus/truck/cargo van, and is NOT already titled as an RV, an inspection will be needed to make sure it has the equipment required of an RV, as shown HERE. If you do not want to do the inspection, we must register it as its original vehicle type.
What you’ll get:
You’ll get a Montana license plate, registration, & title, and the vehicle will be owned by a Montana LLC, which in turn is owned by you.
We’ll set up your Montana LLC instantly after receiving your order. The LLC should get approved within 1 business day.
4-6 weeks to get your license plates 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.
"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. Therefore, we set you up with a Montana LLC and 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.
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.

How much did you pay for your vehicle?
You’ll have to get your vehicle insured for road use before you can drive it, but we won’t need proof to register it. To insure your vehicle, you’ll want a policy from your state, and you will simply add the LLC as an additional interest for no extra cost.
If your RV has an MSRP of $300k or higher AND it’s 10 years old or newer, there’s an additional $825 registration fee due initially and paid every year until the vehicle is 11 years old.
The renewal fee for your Montana LLC is $125 per year and $98-$283 for the vehicle registration depending on your vehicle’s age.
LLC renewals are due by April 15th each year.
NOTE: If your vehicle is 11 years old or older, you’ll get a permanent plate and won’t have to renew the registration You’ll still have to renew the LLC.
