What are the steps to transfer a vehicle title?

Asked a year ago
To transfer a vehicle title in Montana, follow these steps: 1. Obtain a signed title from the seller, ensuring that it is free of any liens or encumbrances. 2. Complete the Application for Title and Registration form, providing all necessary information about the vehicle and the new owner. 3. Prepare a bill of sale indicating the purchase price and date of sale. 4. Visit your local County Treasurer's Office or the Montana Motor Vehicle Division to submit the required documents, pay applicable fees, and provide proof of insurance. 5. In case of a vehicle loan, provide a lien release or a properly-notarized lienholder consent form. 6. Receive the new title and registration in the new owner's name upon successful completion of the paperwork and payment process. Contact the Montana DMV/RMV for any specific requirements or additional information related to your situation.
