Already have a Montana LLC? Montana requires your LLC’s paperwork to come from its registered agent of record. If Shelby & Sons isn’t your registered agent yet, start with the Change of Registered Agent service ($300, one-time) — we file it the same day, and your vehicle work proceeds right away. Already our client? Use this form to add vehicles or request services. Not sure? Call (406) 616-2776 and we’ll check for free.

Common Questions
Do I need to live in Montana?
No. Your LLC is a Montana business entity that can own vehicles regardless of where you live. We prepare and submit all the paperwork to the state on your behalf. We serve clients in all 50 states.
How long does it take?
Standard processing is 7–10 business days from the time we receive your signed documents. Rush service is available — as fast as 3 days. Plates are mailed directly to you.
Is this legal?
Yes. Montana law allows LLCs to own vehicles and have them titled in the LLC’s name. We are a Certified Commercial Registered Agent with the Montana Secretary of State. Check your home state for any local use tax requirements.
What does it cost?
Montana has no sales tax on vehicle purchases. Our service fee covers LLC formation (including state filing fees), registered agent service, and document preparation. Vehicle tag fees are separate and based on the vehicle’s age and type — we’ll provide a full cost breakdown before you commit. See our Services & Fees page for details.
Do you need to be my registered agent first?
Yes, if you already have a Montana LLC. Montana requires an LLC’s paperwork to be prepared and submitted by its registered agent of record, so if another company (or you) currently serves as your agent, a one-time $300 Change of Registered Agent comes first. We file it the same day, and everything else in your order proceeds immediately.
Do I need to bring my vehicle to Montana?
No. The entire process is handled by mail. You send us your signed title documents, we prepare and submit your paperwork to the MVD, and your plates arrive at your door.
