The place is a joke. Numbers were all taken for the day by 1130AM and the place looked like a free-for-all. I went in for a trip permit and have no interest in windows labeled Title or Renewal. Get real flathead county

I called right at 8am which is when they open. I was placed on hold for seven minutes and then hung up on due to a high number of calls. When your hold tone repeats “your call is important to us please wait” and then hangs up without me talking to anyone it leaves a bit of a sour taste.

“Your call is very important to us”. Is it? Because I have no problem waiting on hold whatsoever. I know this location is incredibly busy, and it’s not their fault that the city hasn’t bothered to keep up with infrastructure. However, after roughly 7.5 minutes, an automated message comes on saying “we are experiencing higher than normal call volume. You can do everything you need on our website. Try again later.” That is INFURIATING, mostly because no Karen, I can’t do everything on the website. You’ve had my registration application since the 22nd and the website still just says received.

Just sat on hold for 9 minutes, then a recording came on, gave me their website and hung up. I understand they are very busy, but going to the DMV is hardly any better, 2 hour wait and then the person at the window cannot answer a simple Trust question, "we'll have _______ call you" still waiting.

I have a title of a car that is for my deceased mother who just passed that is in her name. I want to sell the car. How do I transfer the title to the new owner?

Tina Malkuch | Jul 17, 2022

You would probably need to take the death certificate and something showing that you have authority as executor, along with current registration, title, and your ID. If you have a buyer, they can go with you to transfer at the same time, otherwise you can transfer into your name first and then sell from there. There's a title/transfer fee. Get your number early, but the DMV people are super helpful and competent when you eventually get to talk to them.

I would like to get a montana drivers license. I currently have an out of state license. What is the process

You can go to triple AAA over by Walmart and they can help you get it taken care of as long as it's not expired you just have to transfer states

Dawn Hassett | Oct 15, 2021
Craig “Captain Awesome” Walker | Oct 15, 2021

Not sure what the deal is, but any title work has to be done in person, figure 2 hr wait. Also, lapsed registration (not renewed in time) seems to require new plates, though might just be for my vet plates because of the cemetary fee.

Do I need my social security card to take the written test?

Its an endorsement on any license, not its own license.

Hi, I’m buying a car from a private owner in your county, but I’m unfamiliar with the procedure about 1) how do I register it in my name? 2) do we need to transfer title at the dmv? 3) do you provide a bill of sale? Thank you in advance

yt3752 | Oct 15, 2021
Michael Ince | Oct 15, 2021

You take the signed and notarized title into the dmv or a signed and notarized bill of sale (you can download one off of the dmv website) to the dmv and they will do the rest be prepared to wait awhile though

My daughter purchased a new car, never licensed or registered it, she got very sick so we took car to dealership to b consigned, they r saying we have to register it and license it before we sell it, is this true, we don’t have $ to do it either,

jared diaddezio | Oct 15, 2020
Wanda Craig | Oct 15, 2020

I would call the DMV and ask direct. But you also have the option to do a voluntary surrender with the finance company. That way you would not have to register it.

Can I print out a duplicate registration online.

I have traded in one car and have a new one to register?

Bill Brunskill | Oct 15, 2020
Deanna Shepard | Oct 15, 2020

Do have the title in hand just go up there pulling number and expect to be there for two or three hours. If you got it from a dealer it'll be several weeks usually before your paperwork is up there and you're able to go license it they should have given you a 40-day sticker at the dealership

What is the address I send my application for a certificate of Title to.?

David Posner | Oct 16, 2019
Mandie Hunt | Oct 16, 2019

I think you have to physically go there for a title. You can't just send in a title transfer or get a new one. But that should all be answered on this website. https://dojmt.gov/driving/vehicle-title-and-registration/

Vicky Leeper | Oct 16, 2019
Conor Graham | Oct 16, 2019

As far as I'm aware, licenses are issued at a state level and therefore as long as you are going to a dmv in Montana you should have no issues. I am by no means an expert on the subject and should be taken as such.

If you have a marriage license that might work to show proof of name change. I had to do that for my driver's license because my birth certificate has my maiden name and my social security card has my married name

Should we make an appointment?

Judith Pata | Oct 16, 2018
J Foster | Oct 16, 2018

I don't believe you are able to make an appointment at this location. It's the "take a number" system. It helps to have all necessary documents organized and forms filled out beforehand. It makes the process a lot easier.
