New Hampshire Bill of Sale Requirements
New Hampshire requires a bill of sale to title or register a vehicle. Notarization is recommended but not required for a New Hampshire vehicle bill of sale. New Hampshire publishes an official form (NH DMV Bill of Sale page (per RSA 261:148); for non-titled vehicles, TDMV 22A Report of Sale/Transfer of a Non-Titled Motor Vehicle).
- New Hampshire requires a bill of sale to register a vehicle bought in a private sale; for title-exempt vehicles (generally model year 1999 or older, plus trailers with gross weight under 3,001 lbs) the bill of sale is the core proof of ownership presented to the town/city clerk, per RSA 261:148.
- Notarization is NOT required by statute for a New Hampshire vehicle bill of sale; the signatures of buyer and seller (with legal street addresses, no PO Box) are sufficient. Notarization is sometimes recommended for title-exempt or imported vehicles.
- Per RSA 261:148, III the bill of sale must include the date of sale, a description of the vehicle (make, model, VIN, model year, year of manufacture, body type, number of cylinders), and the names, signatures, and legal addresses of both purchaser and seller.
- The NH DMV 'Bill of Sale' page (dmv.nh.gov/bill-sale, canonical /vehicles-boats-or-titles/bill-sale) sets out these RSA 261:148 requirements; it is guidance rather than a single fillable form. The DMV publishes related PDFs including TDMV 22A (Report of Sale/Transfer of a Non-Titled Motor Vehicle) and TDMV 12 (Odometer Disclosure Statement).
- For titled vehicles, ownership transfers primarily via the assigned title certificate; registration is a two-part process that begins at the buyer's town or city clerk, with a $35 title fee (RSA 261:141) plus town/city and state registration fees.
Federal law (49 CFR Part 580) requires the seller to disclose the vehicle's odometer reading at transfer for vehicles less than 20 model years old (model year 2011 and newer in 2026); this disclosure is normally made on the title's assignment section. New Hampshire provides Odometer Disclosure Statement form TDMV 12 for use when the title does not contain the reading or a discrepancy exists. Vehicles 20+ model years old and most non-titled vehicles are exempt from the federal odometer disclosure requirement. Source: N.H.
