Montana Lost Title Bond Information and Requirements:


Replacing a Lost Title in Montana

The Vehicle Services Bureau of the Montana Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) coordinates the registration and titling of all vehicles in the state, with the exception of pick-up campers that require titles but not registration.

If you lose your title, you'll need to apply for a duplicate. While the urgency factor isn't as severe as losing your license, you will eventually need the title if you plan on selling your vehicle.

You can obtain a replacement certificate of title for the following reasons:


·         Legal name changes.

·         Changes in ownership.

·         Changes in address.

·         Actual errors.


Replacements are also available for a lost vehicle title, a stolen vehicle title, or a damaged vehicle title.

Applying For a Duplicate Title

You can apply to replace a lost title, damaged title or stolen title by mail or in person at your local Montana Title and Registration Bureau office.

NOTE: You must make any updates to your license before updating your registration and title. A copy of your Montana driver's license is required if you need to update your personal information on a title. Additional legal documentation is required for a replacement title application due to a name change. See "Name Changes" below.


How to Get Your Replacement Title

To apply for a duplicate MT title, you will need to:

·         Complete the Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title (Form MV7).

·         Submit a Statement of Fact (Form MV100) with the application form, if you're seeking a replacement title because of a legal name change.

·         Mail it along with $10.30 fee to:


Vehicle Services Bureau

Motor Vehicle Division

Montana Department of Justice

P.O. Box 201431

302 N Roberts

Helena, MT 59620


Do you need a lien added?

If a collateral lien needs be added to the title along with the application to replace title, you'll need to pay an additional $10.30 filing fee.


Purchasing a Vehicle with a Lost Title

If you or the seller can't find any record of the title, you can apply for a bonded title.

You'll first need to discuss the information with your County's Treasurer's Office, and then:


·         Bring proof of ownership plus a completed Vehicle/Vessel/OHV Identification Number Inspection Certificate (Form MV20).

·         Complete an Application for Break/Bond Title (Form MV10) detailing the circumstances of the sale, any liens on it, and estimated value.

·         Secure a bond of surety equal to the value, if the value is over $500.

o    If the value is $500 or less, you need to either determine the national average current trade-in price or average appraisal for that type of vehicle, or simply certify the value is $500 or less.


Next, you will be issued a bonded title. If no claims are made on it within 3 years, you will receive a clear title as an owner.
