How to Register a Vehicle

To register your vehicle purchased from a private party, visit the MVD (Motor Vehicle Division) at your local County Treasurer’s Office within the county you reside in and be prepared with the following essential items:

  • Bill of Sale (Form MV24): Helpful
  • Fees and Registration Payment: Pay the required title and registration fees.
  • Title: The vehicle’s title is required. If purchased used from the owner, the previous owner must sign the current title over to you.

Notes

  • If you are purchasing from a dealership, the dealer will send the paperwork to your County Treasurer’s office.

How to Register a Boat

Montana requires motorboats, personal watercraft, and sailboats 12 feet or longer to be titled and registered through the County Treasurer in the county where the owner resides. To register a vessel, secure the following documentation for submission at your nearest Country Treasurer’s office or Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks facility:

  • Application for Vessel Certificate of Title (Form MV1A), if applying for a Montana vessel title.
  • Bill of Sale, if needed to support the ownership transfer.
  • Certificate of Title, properly assigned by the previous owner.
  • Current registration receipt or certificate of number, if the boat came from a non-title state.
  • Lien release, if applicable.
  • Manufacturer’s Certificate/Statement of Origin, if the boat is new.
  • Payment for title and registration fees.

Out-of-State Purchase

  • Out-of-state title, if the boat was titled in another state.
  • Out-of-state registration, if the boat came from a non-title state.

The buyer generally has 40 days from the sale date to apply for title and registration. Out-of-state boats properly registered elsewhere may be operated in Montana for up to 90 consecutive days.
