Title: Evaluating Clarity of Golden Rod
Would the obtained title from NTX be considered cleared as a golden rod?
Montana Title Issued and Residency Status
If a Montana Title was issued for your vehicle, you would not be considered a non-resident. In this situation, certain steps need to be taken to ensure proper processing.
Processing through SPU or DMV Field Office
To address the issue of residency status with a Montana Title, you can choose to process it through the State Procurement Unit (SPU) or visit the nearest Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) field office. Both options will assist in updating your information accordingly.
Payment Methods and Fee Calculation
SPU offers an option for Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments, providing you with a convenient way to settle any fees associated with your vehicle registration. Additionally, utilizing the Fee Calculator designated for Non-Residents can help determine the exact amount due based on your specific circumstances.
Late Fees and Penalties
If fees are paid after the designated deadline but within a reasonable timeframe with proof of timely posting, there may be additional charges incurred. However, going past the specified date by only one day will result in a minimal $5 Administrative Service Fee (ASF), without any further penalties being imposed.
