Visit a DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) in the county in which you live and bring the following documentation:

Out-of-State Purchase
- Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin (MSO): Required if the vehicle purchased from an out-of-state dealership is brand new.
- New Hampshire Title Application from the Lienholder
- Title from the Dealership
Notes
- Registration in New Hampshire is a two-part process.
- If you have an out-of-state loan or are leasing the vehicle, see the 60-day temporary plate process.
- For a title-exempt vehicle purchased in a private sale, you must also provide proof of VIN.

Firearm Registration Forms
New Hampshire does not impose any mandated registration or purchase permit necessary for residents to buy or own a firearm within the state. Permitless carry went into effect as of February 2017, allowing for individuals to carry concealed or openly in designated areas with a New Hampshire photo ID. If you would like to obtain a Resident Pistol/Revolver License to travel with a gun outside the state, within participating reciprocity states, you may apply with the following materials at your resident sheriff’s office:
- A filled-out and executed New Hampshire Application for Resident Pistol/Revolver License (Form DSSP-85)
- Money to cover the cost of the license and processing fees.
