State laws vary when it comes to motor vehicle insurance requirements, licensing and registration. The term vehicle generally includes automobiles, motorcycles, vans, trailers and boats regularly parked or garaged overnight. Service members and their families will want to understand their state’s laws on registration and licensing before moving to a new state. Visit the USA.gov Motor Vehicle Services page for links to state-specific websites.
Montana State law requires you to have sufficient liability insurance and a valid driver’s license in order to operate a vehicle. The term “vehicle” generally includes automobiles, motorcycles, vans, trailers and boats regularly parked or garaged overnight. Further, your vehicle must be properly registered. Even though you are in the Military, you may be required to register your vehicle in-state and obtain an in-state license within a few months of moving. Access complete information on insurance, driver’s licensing, and where and how to register your vehicle by visiting the State Department of Motor Vehicles website.

State and local laws regulate the operation of motor vehicles, and these laws can vary by location.
Many states regulate the following:
§ 61-13-1, MCA requires the use of seatbelts by the driver and each occupant of each vehicle. § 61-9-420, MCA also requires child safety restraint systems for children under the age of 6 and weighing less than 60 pounds.

Many States and local jurisdictions have strict laws about the use of cell phones and other digital devices while driving. Research these laws on the Montana Department of Motor Vehicles Home - Montana Department of Justice (dojmt.gov). Tickets will be issued, and fines assessed for violating these laws. Play it safe and always use a “hands free” device if you must use a cell phone or other PDA while driving. Hands-free devices must be used while operating a motor vehicle on ALL military installations worldwide.
