Regular Public Office Hours Reinstated at Gallatin County Motor Vehicle Offices 

Starting Monday, Oct. 30, regular public office hours at the Gallatin County Motor Vehicle offices in Bozeman and Belgrade will be reinstated.  

The Gallatin County Motor Vehicle Department is responsible for titling, registration and collection of fees associated with motor vehicles in the county.  

Starting next week, public office hours will return to 8 AM to 5 PM at the Bozeman office (Gallatin County Courthouse, 311 W. Main St.) and 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM at the Belgrade office (312 W. Main St., suite B-8). Both are open Mondays through Fridays except for legal holidays.  

Both offices have had temporarily reduced public hours since June due to short staffing. While the Motor Vehicle Department is still down two full-time positions, additional employees have been brought on board to ease the workload. And the county continues to recruit for those vacant positions.  

We also recently launched online titling and registration services, which are available for dealership purchases to save customers a trip to our offices. Those services can be found on our website.   

We greatly appreciate the public’s patience during these last few months. Long wait times in our lobbies are frustrating, but we’ve been working tirelessly to hire and train new staff and add more online services to better serve all our customers.  

For information on job openings in the Motor Vehicle Department, and all other county departments, please visit www.governmentjobs.com/careers/gallatinmt. There you can see detailed job descriptions and apply today! 

And a friendly reminder that we do not provide driver’s licenses – those are handled by the state in a separate office.
