How to Register a Boat

To adequately meet the requirements set forth by the state of New Hampshire, any boat propelled by a motor or sail to be utilized in inland or coastal waters must be legally registered with state authorities. Exceptions to this particular regulation include:

  • Vessels registered in another state that will be employed for a period of no longer than 30 days.
  • Designated lifeboats.
  • Sailboats that measure less than 12 feet in length.
  • Federally or state-owned vessels.

To register a watercraft, you can elect to mail in the required information or gather the following documentation to hand-deliver at your nearest New Hampshire DMV facility:

  • A filled and endorsed New Hampshire Boat Registration Application (Form DSMV 157A).
  • A completed bill of sale form.
  • Evidence of active boat owner’s insurance.
  • If your vessel does not have a noted hull identification number, a finalized New Hampshire Verification of Vessel Identification will be required.
    • If your vessel does not have a registered hull identification number listed on its hull, you may need to arrange to have one issued once the boat undergoes a state inspection with the local police department. Once the review is complete, you will be supplied with a signed form to present for registration.
  • A valid photo ID.
  • Acceptable payment for registration fees and taxes.

If you choose to mail in your materials, seal the paperwork in an envelope with sufficient postage to send to:

New Hampshire Department of Safety
