A few weeks later I received a letter from the Title and Registration bureau. It was too thick to be my title, so I prepared for another volley of correspondence. The letter inside asked that the Surety Bond I obtained from my insurance agent be updated to reflect my new Montana VIN number I had been given for the car. It also requested a $10 fee for a Bonded Certificate of Title - which is a little different than a normal title. The Title and Registration Bureau will issue a title with the words "BONDED TITLE" and the expiration date of the bond printed on its face. | A few weeks later I received a letter from the Title and Registration bureau.

| + | I am now ready to license my vehicle. You have two options, one: take your title to your local courthouse and register it and get regular license plates. This is the quickest route to go, but if you really want to take advantage of your old vehicle's status, choose the next option. Download form [http://www.doj.mt.gov/driving/forms/mv3.pdf (Application for Registration of a Vintage or Pioneer Vehicle)] and register your vehicle as a Vintage or Pioneer vehicle. The registration is permanent, and depnding on your car could be as little as ''$10 for the lifetime of your ownership.'' Using this form will require to send your information to the State DMV office, and may ake several weeks - but if you have the time, I would highly suggest it. Be sure to read the limitations on form MV3 to make sure your vehicle's use falls within the State's requirements. Send in the proper amount, and a short while later, you'll get your plates. | ||
