Selling a used car as a New Hampshire dealer: the paperwork

Selling used cars in New Hampshire means working with paperwork from the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles. In New Hampshire, the original title application is a controlled document, issued only through a town or city clerk, a licensed dealer or a lienholder.

Each form below links straight to dmv.nh.gov, starting with the ones nearly every sale needs. We check every link weekly.
