Ava's answer

Montana lets eligible drivers renew online, by mail, or in person; online/mail is limited to those who didn't renew that way last time.

Steps4 steps

Check eligibility: Online/mail if you're a U.S. citizen within 6 months before to 1 year after expiration, didn't renew online/mail last time, and aren't suspended.
Choose online, mail, or in person: Online and mail reuse your photo; in-person at an exam station lets you update your photo.
Receive your card: The next renewal after a mail renewal must be in person.
Find an official office if you need to go in person: Use the agency's official office finder: https://mvdmt.gov/
