Why is our Montana license plate search one of the best?

Our Montana license plate search tool draws from a robust database of public records that we source from the Montana Vehicle Services Bureau (VSB), NMVTIS, NHTSA and other third-party data sources like J.D. Power.

Whether you want to find the estimated value of your Missoula motor or you’re researching a ride you spotted while exploring the Flathead National Forest, a Bumper Montana license plate search is a great way to find a variety of information about vehicles registered in Montana.

Nicknamed Big Sky Country, Montana is more or less one big national park, with more than 20 million acres of mountains, forests, and streams. With vast expanses of rugged acreage, Montana has a natural draw to outdoorsmen, ranchers, nature lovers and thrill seekers alike. While only 1.1 million residents call Montana home, more than 12 million visitors make their way there every year, whether they’re checking out downtown Missoula or exploring the wilds of Yellowstone National Park.

That means there are plenty of vehicles on the roads in Montana. And we could help you learn plenty about those vehicles with our MT license plate lookup.

Our license plate search for Montana covers vehicles all over the state, from the Little Bighorn Battlefield Monument or Bozeman to the Kootenai Forest. Our MT license plate search can also be particularly helpful in Montana’s 10 metro areas by population (2021):

Billings: 109,550
Missoula: 76,848
Great Falls: 58,701
Bozeman: 49,831

Does Montana require one or two license plates?

Montana requires two license plates on most vehicles, although some vehicles are exempt, including motorcycles and trailers.

Having front and rear license plates makes it easier for law enforcement to identify Montana vehicles. We can help you run license plate searches for any state, even neighboring Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming!

How many vehicles are registered in Montana?

According to the Federal Highway Administration’s latest update in 2021, there are over 1.9 million vehicles registered in Montana (including buses, motorcycles, and medium and heavy duty trucks that have a MT license plate).

With only 1.1 million residents in MT, that means there are more vehicles registered in Montana than there are people residing there!

While vehicle ownership has taken off in Montana, electric vehicles are slow to gain popularity in Big Sky Country. According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center, there were less than 2,000 electric vehicles in Montana as of June 2022.
