“How can I get an out-of-state registration without being a resident?”

Simple.

We set up a Montana LLC1 so you can meet their residency requirements. Then, we register your vessel in Montana under your LLC. That way you can take your vessel out in your home state without worrying about any transfer rules!

And you won’t have to pay any taxes or file a tax return on your LLC as it will be classified as an asset-holding LLC!

Your registration will also be permanent so there is no need to renew it. Just renew your LLC yearly and you're good to go!

1 We will create the Montana LLC instantly when we receive your order.

 
 

Ask us anything.

  • Montana requires that you be a resident of Montana to register your vessel there.

    But there’s a way around this…

    A Montana LLC.

    We open a Montana LLC for you (Dirt Legal will be the registered agent), and since it has a Montana address, you’ll be able to register all your vehicles or vessels under that LLC (which you own).

    This means you’ll meet the residency requirements without having to be a resident. For more info, check out our complete guide here.

  • We’ll set up your Montana LLC instantly after receiving your order and you can expect your registration in 1-2 weeks. Your title will arrive 1-2 weeks later. The LLC will get approved within 1 business day.

  • For us to register your vessel, we require one of the following:

    • A valid title in your name

    • A title that has been signed over to you

      If the title was issued in Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, or Pennsylvania, ensure that the seller has had the title notarized before sending it to us

    • A Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO) from the dealership where you purchased the vehicle, accompanied by a bill of sale

    Additionally, the title must not be labeled as 'junk' or 'salvage'. Rebuilt is okay.

  • Your LLC will need to be renewed yearly which is $125 a year for our auto-renewal option, and $150 for our one-time renewal. You can have us handle this for you automatically so you don’t have to worry about staying on top of registrations every year.

    The renewal also includes our registered agent service, which is required to keep your LLC current in Montana.

  • It's simpler than you think! We’ve spent the better part of a decade finding the best insurance companies for these situations, so you don’t have to. Check out our insurance guide for more information.

  • Once your Montana LLC is set up you can continue to add vessels or vehicles to that same LLC. All you need to do is select "Yes" that you have an existing Montana LLC when you place your order and you’ll save up to $300.

  • If you already had Dirt Legal create an LLC for you and you would like to add another vessel or vehicle to that existing LLC, select “Yes, Dirt Legal has already set up an LLC for me” when adding to the cart.

  • In that case, we can set up your Montana LLC first here. Then once the vessel is purchased, you can add it to your LLC by selecting “Yes, I already have a Montana LLC” when adding to the cart.

  • Unless you plan on using the LLC to make money, you won't need to worry about filing a tax return for the LLC. You also won't need an EIN.

  • The registration you get is permanent and does NOT have to be renewed. The only additional cost is the yearly fee to keep your Montana LLC current. The cost is $125 per year ($150 for one-time renewal) and you can register for automatic renewal once your order is complete. There are no hidden fees or costs to get your off-roader registered!

  • Yes, we do! You can select Afterpay at checkout to split your payment in 4.

 
 
 
 

Insurance Recommendations

You’ll have to get your vessel insured before you can take it on the water, but we won’t need proof to register it. To insure your vessel, you’ll want a policy from your state, and you will simply add the LLC as an additional interest for no extra cost.

LLC Renewal

Your LLC will need to be renewed yearly which is $125 a year for our auto-renewal option, and $150 for our one-time renewal, which we can handle for you here. Please note that if your LLC is created after April 15th, it will need to be renewed by April 15th the next year, even if it was setup at the end of the year.

The renewal also includes our registered agent service, which is required to keep your LLC current in Montana.
