Okay, Home now.
So i'll Pull info from OptimizePrime's thread for Montana registration here for some of the required stuff, and change around what I did differently. Credit to all the form links and whatnot goes to him, I'm just resharing it, and also a link to his entire guide is here. it details HOW to fill in each form listed here in this post. so please use his guide for more indepth details.
Link to his thread and guide here:

Almost all of this info and my experience came from using his thread. so again ALL credit here I give to him.
My Personal Wisconsin Procedure to get registered with Montana, title plates and all.
I personally used
https://www.49dollarmontanaregisteredagent.com/
I'm not saying you have to use them, it's just who I used and I'll base my experience off that.
( mods if u want the link removed please let me know, like i said I'm not trying to advertise for them, just saying who i used and my experience )
- Step one, go to https://www.49dollarmontanaregisteredagent.com/ or your Registered agent of choice, and pay the fees ( $800 for everything here said and done, thats tax, title, registration, plate, and mailing costs for everything, no sales tax for Montana ) and pick your LLC name. ***From the time I paid, it took less than 15 minutes for the LLC to be registered with montana and my LLC paperwork to be in my email already.*** Use this link to search if a name is available for your LLC:
biz.sosmt.gov
- Call up DF kit car and request your Manufacture Certificate of Origin and Invoice from DF Kit Car in the name of your chosen LLC name ( Not your name! ) DF now charges $30 I think for this. When i did it.
- They also need an Odometer Disclosure from DF that coincides with the MCO & Invoice Form found here: https://www.ncdot.gov/dmv/downloads/Documents/MVR-180.pdf I used this form from OptimizePrime's thread. Credit to him for alot of this.
- A Montana dmv form MV1 Application for Certificate of title. Note: 49dollarmontanaregisteredagent did not require ME to fill this out, they said they would handle it on their end for me, and they did. form found here: https://dojmt.gov/wp-content/uploads/Application-for-Certificate-of-Title-for-Motor-Vehicle-1.pdf
- IF your goblin paperwork is already in your actual name you'll need a bill of sale, selling the goblin to your LLC. Note: If you requested all the MCO and invoice and all that to be redone in the LLC's name and pay the fee for a new MCO from DF, you won't need to do this step. Form found here if needed: https://dojmt.gov/wp-content/uploads/Bill-of-Sale.pdf
- MV-70A Inspection form, this is filled out by you, and signed by you, make sure to fill it out in its entirety. form found here: https://dojmt.gov/wp-content/uploads/Inspection-Checklist-Unconventional-Vehicles.pdf
- MV20 VIN Inspection form This needs to be filled out by a Local Police Officer, The Registered agent requested a business card from the officer/pd, aswell as the form filled out properly, they are just verifying the VIN plate from DF is installed, and the location of it and any other identifiable features. My VIN Inspection took under 5 minutes, I had all my paperwork, receipts, titles, and anything pertaining to the build just incase they asked for it, they might ask for it, they might not. Better to be safe than sorry here and have as much on hand as possible. You need to be able to prove any major items installed in the goblin ( major parts IE: motor, frame, etc.. ) are owned by you. IF they ask for it, in my case, the officer looked through my stack of papers in about 1-2 mins, and didnt even ask any questions. Form found here: https://media.dojmt.gov/wp-content/uploads/MV20-1.pdf
- You will also need the Articles of Organization from your LLC, if you used 49dollarmontanaregisteredagent, they will have it all on hand already, if you used another registered agent, just be sure to include the LLC paperwork from your registered agent of choice.
That's it, that's all I did. From start to finish, depending on the time it takes DF to get you the MCO and invoice and Odo statement, you should be able to do all the paperwork and VIN inspection in a few days. They told me when I mailed everything the wait at the moment was 4-6 weeks due to the pandemic, it took about 5 weeks all said and done, until a title, registration, and a plate showed up.
And just a reminder, please use Optimize's guide thread, he has detailed pictures of each form shown, highlighted, what to fill out, and in what manner. so please go check it out if you have questions of that nature.
