LLC Registration SalePersonalized / Vanity Plate Information
Order personalized Montana license plates for your LLC vehicle online
Montana offers specialty plate backgrounds and personalized plates with custom letters or numbers. You can enter your plate background, three plate choices, and the meaning of each choice directly on our website. We submit your application to the Montana Motor Vehicle Division on your behalf.
How to order
- During vehicle registration: When registering a new vehicle, select the Personalized Plate option on the vehicle registration form. Choose a plate background and enter three plate choices with meanings.
- For an already registered vehicle: Use the Personalized Plate service to request personalized plates for an active vehicle on your LLC account.
- Sponsored plate background only: If you want a specialty plate background without custom text, select the Sponsored Plate option during registration. There is no additional service fee for a background-only selection.
Plate choices
Personalized plate applications require three choices, each with a meaning. Choices must include at least two letters or numbers, cannot be all numbers, cannot begin or end with a space, and must fit the character limit for the selected plate background. View available backgrounds on the Montana MVD website.
Fees
- $200 service fee: A non-refundable service fee applies to each personalized plate request. This fee is charged even if your plate wording is not available, because we are charged by the processing center.
- State plate fees: Once your plates are issued, you will be billed separately by the state. The base fee is $36.05. If you choose a sponsor background, the listed donation fee is also added.
- Reapplication: If you would like to submit new plate choices later, the service fee is $50 per request.
What to expect
Personalized plates take time to process. You will be issued a standard Montana license plate first so you can remain legally on the road while your personalized plates are being produced. We will contact you if we need additional information.
