Enclosed is an Annual Manufacturer/Distributor/Importer Renewal Application. Verify and complete all
information as indicated. Return the properly completed forms with the fees to this office for processing.
All manufacturers distributing or selling motorized vehicles in the State of Montana must be licensed.
(A manufacturer license is not required if selling only non-motorized vehicles)
Refer to the renewal schedule to determine license renewal and expiration dates. Failure to comply will
prevent a dealer from selling motorized products. Any late renewal will require new plates.
All plates must be renewed based on manufacturer dealer's renewal schedule. Validation tabs will be
issued for each set of plates currently in your possession. One set of plates may be obtained for each
manufacturer representative within Montana. If you currently have plates and no longer have a
representative in Montana the plates must be returned to our office.
Only one tab is issued per set of plates. The number on the tab must 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 will need to be requested. The fee for a replacement tab is $10.00
