Montana state authorities reserve the right to reject any form that has been altered.
This form is available in alternate formats for people with disabilities.
Enclosed is a Dealer Renewal Application. It is advised that you keep this information letter for your files
because it outlines the regulations and procedures for complying with the laws governing the business.
The dealer annual report and renewal application form and fees must be received at the
Vehicle Services Bureau (VSB) by the renewal schedule. Only those dealers whose annual
reports are received on or before their renewal schedule may continue to display and use
dealer and/or demonstrator plates and temporary registration permits. The plates and
temporary registration permit privileges for any dealer whose renewal is not received on or
before their renewal schedule will be suspended, requiring new plates to be purchased.
Any changes to the dealership name, location, DBA name, franchise information, ownership name(s)
or ownership address require a separate Dealer License Application (MV25) and/or a Dealer Inspection
(MV105). If you have questions, contact the Vehicle Services Bureau at 406-444-3661. The forms are
available on MVD's website: https://dojmt.gov/driving/dealers-forms/
A physical plate inventory should be completed prior to ordering tabs. This is to ensure a tab is
ordered for each plate in the dealer’s possession.
o Only one tab is issued per set of plates. The number on the tab will match the plate number
and must be placed in the upper right corner of the plate used on the rear of the vehicle. If a
tab is placed on the wrong plate or is lost, a new tab needs to be requested. The fee for each
replacement tab is $10.30 (fees include 3% administrative fee per MCA 61-3-111). Citations
may be issued if a plate is used with an invalid tab.
Dealer plates may only be issued to a new or used vehicle dealer. Dealers whose business is restricted
to the sale of motorcycles, power sport vehicles, or trailers may not obtain dealer plates.
Check off items below to ensure submission of a completed report. Do not submit the
instruction pages with the application (when mailing or faxing). It is for your records.
Complete the dealer renewal application in it's entirety.
