2026 New State Fee's (Click link) TAKING EFFECT: 01/01/26

The NH DMV has increased the fees for motor vehicle transactions effective January 1, 2026 according to NH House Bill 2.  Registrations that are completed by December 31, 2025, will be charged the current fees but payments received on or after January 1ST will need to include the increases.  In an effort to avoid wrong payments we will be suspending the online system on December 26th and resuming on January 2nd.   During this period registrations can be processed in person at the office.  Renewals through March 31st may be processed prior to December 31st.  If you’re registering your December vehicle by MAIL, please make sure your check is in the mail by December 19th.  If we haven’t received your check by December 30th, you will get a phone call regarding the new fees.
