When your Montana license plates and registration are ready, you’ll be prompted to provide a destination address that’s convenient for you to receive your items.
We know that you’re probably traveling, so the “To” address that you provide here can be different from the address that you provide for the “From” address that you provided to send your vehicle’s prior title.
Even if you already know your desired delivery address, address input will not be available until your plates and registration are available.
Destination Options
Two destination options are available:
Mail to address
This can be the address of a friend, family member, dealership, or any other delivery destination that's convenient for you. A signature is not required for delivery.
After you enter your destination address, a Confirm Address modal will appear with two options:
Use Original (the address as you entered it), or
Use Validated (the address normalized against the carrier's database).
Use Validated is recommended — it catches small typos and standardizes the format so your shipment is less likely to be misdelivered.
Once you confirm the address and we create the shipment, the destination address is locked and can't be changed. Please double-check the name and address before clicking Confirm. After you confirm, your items wait to be shipped:
Once we create your shipment, the Shipment Details panel shows the carrier, tracking number, and a Track shipment button:
Pickup at Fedex Location
If you don't have a delivery destination near you when your items are ready, you can choose to have your items delivered to a Fedex service point, where your items will be held for up to 5 business days for pickup. Enter a country and zip code to search for nearby FedEx pickup locations:
While the Fedex location search service works well for most of the US and Canada, it may miss some Fedex locations in certain parts of those countries.
If the service is unable to identify a Fedex location in the zip code that you provide, you can enter the address of a Fedex location that holds Express packages for pickup using the Mail to Address option, and your shipment will be held at that Fedex location for pickup for up to five business days. You can search for Fedex locations at local.fedex.com; make sure the location lists “Hold Express package for pickup” as a shipping service.
Selecting a location that doesn’t provide the "Hold Express package for pickup" service may result in delays and additional fees.
Want to receive everything together?
If you'd rather wait and have visitor.us ship your plates and registration together with your Montana title in a single shipment, you can defer providing a destination address here in Step 4b.
When your Montana title arrives at our office (typically about 30 days after registration), the address you provide in Step 5b: Montana Title by mail will be used to ship all three items together.
One thing to be careful about: once you do enter an address here in Step 4b and we generate the shipment, the items are on their way - there's no way to recall and consolidate after that. So decide before entering the Step 4b address.
Shipment timing
We usually ship your items within one to two business days after you submit your desired address.
For destinations inside the US, we ship your items second day, meaning that they are expected to arrive two business days after sending.
You can expect to receive your items about four business days after submitting your desired address (for destinations inside the United States).
International Shipments
International shipments can take three to five business days to reach Europe and Australia, and as long as ten to 14 business days to reach Central and South America.
International shipments are subject to a $95 international shipping fee per shipment, collected via a Stripe checkout:
visitor.us is not responsible for delayed, undeliverable, or lost shipments
Many factors outside of visitor.us' control may cause a shipment to be delayed, lost, or undeliverable.
Factors include invalid address entry by you, and operational and weather-related delays experienced by the shipper.
Once we send a shipment, you are responsible for collecting it and, if necessary, you are responsible for contacting the shipper to arrange final delivery.
Customers whose shipments are returned to visitor.us will be charged a $100 fee for shipment reprocessing.
Please take extra care when entering your shipping destination.
