Pink Slip Title

How it works

Four things happen on your side. Everything else is ours.

  1. Tell us about the vehicle

    Your details, the VIN, and a few photos from your phone. We check the VIN as you type it, so a mistyped character gets caught now rather than a month from now.

  2. Print the two forms we send you

    We fill them in for you — the Montana VIN inspection form and a bill of sale. You print them at home. Print at 100%, not “fit to page.”

  3. Get the VIN inspected

    A mobile notary comes to your vehicle, checks the VIN against the paperwork, and signs. Most customers pay about $25. We’ll show you how to find one.

  4. Mail the envelope back

    Tracked, with a prepaid label. From there we prepare the Montana application, have our signature notarized, and file it.

Then we take over

We complete the Break/Bond Title application, the notarized statement of value Montana requires, the VIN history report, and the photo package — and mail the whole thing to the Vehicle Services Bureau in Helena. Montana takes roughly a month.

When the title arrives, we sign the vehicle over to you and mail you both documents. You’re the owner of record.

Why the inspection? Montana requires a physical VIN verification for out-of-state vehicles. It’s the one step we can’t do for you — and it’s also the reason the title stands up: somebody independent confirmed the vehicle exists and the number matches.
