Summary

The bill changes New Hampshire law so owners only need to show a title, bill of sale and government ID when they first register a vehicle or when they sell it. For yearly renewals, a prior registration record is enough, and towns can accept a clerk’s personal recognizance as identification. The change is meant to clear up confusion and reduce paperwork for residents and clerks.
