Special situation
Get a duplicate title in Montana
Use this guide when the title is lost, damaged, or unavailable and you need a replacement before sale, transfer, or registration changes.
What to gather first
- vehicle identification and owner information
- current address and identity information for the titled owner
- lienholder details if applicable
- payment for any duplicate title fee
Likely next steps
- Verify that the titled owner and mailing address are current before submitting a duplicate-title request.
- Use the official state hub or office locator below to confirm whether duplicate titles are handled online, by mail, or only in person.
- Wait for the replacement title or official confirmation before attempting a sale, title transfer, or correction.
- If the title is also incorrect, use the title-correction path instead of treating it as a simple duplicate.
