The days and hours of operation, and the services available at Montana’s driver license stations vary by location:
Note:
Rural Locations with Driver Exam Services – In rural locations, if you need to obtain or renew a driver license, first pay for the license at your county treasurer’s office. The county treasurer will give you a receipt. You must present the receipt to the driver examiner.
Rural Counties without Driver Exam Services – There are some rural counties in which driver exam services are not available: Carter, Garfield, Golden Valley, Jefferson, Judith Basin, Madison, Petroleum, Prairie, Treasure, and Wibaux.
To get or renew a license, residents of these counties may pay for and take their driver exams at one of the driver license exam stations where a prepaid receipt is not required. See the Schedule of Office Hours and Locations at the top of this page.
Mobile Phone Restriction – As a courtesy to people taking their knowledge tests, mobile phone use is not allowed in driver license exam stations. Please turn off your mobile phone when you enter a driver license exam station.
Questions or Comments – Call your local office on the days it is open if you have questions or concerns.
