LET US KNOW HOW WE ARE DOING!
 
WHERE'S YOUR PAPERWORK?  
 
Please contact your dealership, bank, etc. to make sure your titling documents have been sent- they will often be able to provide you with a tracking number. Once your paperwork has been delivered, please give us a couple of business days to check it in before you come in to complete it.
 
ONLINE RENEWALS: 
 
Please save a trip and renew online at this link.
If you renewed online and haven't received your tabs within 7-10 business days, please stop by one of our offices and visit the express renewal line. 
 
TRANSACTION LIMITS:
 
We can only process 2 transactions per person or entity/per day. Wait times are already longer than we would like, and we want to help as many people per day as possible.
 

WAITING FOR US TO CONTACT YOU?  

PHONE CALLS:  We are receiving 500+ phone messages a week and do not have the staffing to return them all. 

We advise you to email us instead at mv@gallatin.mt.gov (ONLY IF you cannot find the answer to your question on this site). 

 

MOVING FROM OUT-OF-STATE? 

We're happy to help and we know things are different here, so please review the information on the top left side of this page before coming in. Yes, we require the actual title. No, we cannot accept electronic titles. Yes, you have to provide proof of residency (see link to the left). No, the same rules don't apply from state to state. No, we don't know why. Honestly, it's not up to us. Help us help you. :)
