How to Register a Vehicle
Visit a DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) in the county in which you live and bring the following documentation:
- Bill of Sale: Required for a title-exempt vehicle purchased in a private sale.
- Certificate of Title: Required for a vehicle purchased in a private sale. For a vehicle purchased from a New Hampshire dealership, bring the certificate of title or the blue copies of the title application.
- Proof of Residency: Required if residency has not already been established by your town or city.
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.
