Directions & Tips for the Online Form
The Online Registration Form is a fully
capable web based registration system under certain circumstances. If you can
sign for all the verifying llama information on the registration form:
Owner of dam at conception
Owner of sire at conception
Owner of cria at the time of birth
Owner of cria at the time of registration
You can use the online registration system to fill out your paperwork and upload
photographs of your llama. You will be asked to have a credit card on record
with the ILR to complete the registration process. (The ILR does not ask for the
credit card information over the web site. If we do not have your credit card info on record, you will have to call the ILR office
and provide the information to an operator - 406-755-3438.)
If you cannot sign for all 4 verifications above, you can still use the online form to fill out your llama information. The form can then be printed on your own printer. The form you print will, in most cases, indicate the signatures that you need to obtain. You will then need to mail in the completed form (with all 4 signatures), photographs and appropriate fees. You can also download and print the Paper Registration Form PDF
In several places you'll see drop down menus like the following:
Simply click on the arrow or in the window and the menu appears. On long menus note the slider bar on the right that allows you to scroll up or down to your desired choice. Just click on your choice and it will appear in the window. Then click anywhere else on the form and the dark coloration will disappear. You can change your choices as many times as you like.
Drop down menus contain single key stroke shortcuts. To see the single key stroke shortcuts on any pull down menu, take note of the first letter of each selection.
If you cannot submit electronically, print at least 2 copies, one to send to the ILR office and another for your records. If you are submitting electronically, print a single copy for your records.
We hope this form proves useful. Please let us know if you experience problems. Remember to include your payment and the required photos when you mail your registration form.
