Renewal Instructions
Enclosed is a Transit Renewal Application issued for the transportation of new motor vehicles, trailers, and
new or used mobile homes over the highways of Montana.
Read carefully and complete all sections. If all sections are not completed properly or if the correct fees
are not submitted, the renewal materials will be returned to you. This may cause a delay in receiving your
license, tabs, and plates. Fees include 3% administration fee per MCA 61-3-111.
If there are changes to the business name, location, or mailing address provide the information on the
renewal application form.
An inventory of all plates must be taken prior to renewal because validation tabs will be issued for all active
plates in inventory.
Only one tab is issued per set of active 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 will need to be ordered. The replacement tab fee is $10 per tab. Citations may be
issued if a plate is used with an invalid tab.
Refer to the renewal schedule to determine when the renewal application and fee must be
submitted.
