What to bring

  • Montana plate number, VIN, or registration record details
  • owner identity and current mailing address
  • police report or theft details when the state requires them
  • payment for Montana replacement-credential fees

Likely next steps

  1. Use Montana's replacement-plates or duplicate-registration path before relying on a normal renewal.
  2. Confirm whether Montana wants replacement plates, a duplicate registration, or both for your situation.
  3. Replace the missing or damaged credentials first so later renewal happens on a usable Montana record.
