Free New Hampshire Free Printable Bill of Sale
New Hampshire charges no sales tax on vehicle purchases, making private sales especially straightforward from a tax standpoint. A bill of sale is required mainly for title-exempt (model year 1999 and older) vehicles, where the DMV's form is TDMV 22A — for a titled vehicle any written or printed bill of sale is a fine record — and the buyer's title application must reach the DMV within 20 days of purchase; an annual safety inspection is required before the vehicle can be registered.

New Hampshire Free Printable Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Put together the bill of sale listing each party's legal name and address
- Write out all 17 VIN characters with the year, make, model, and reading
- State the purchase price — even with no sales tax, this establishes the transaction value for records
- Both buyer and seller sign and date the document
- Seller completes the assignment section on the back of the title certificate
- Buyer's title application, prepared by the town or city clerk, reaches the NH DMV within 20 days of purchase
- Obtain a passing annual safety inspection before registering the vehicle
Common Pitfalls
- New Hampshire requires an annual safety inspection — the buyer cannot complete vehicle registration without a valid inspection sticker
- The 20-day title application deadline is firm; missing it means a penalty equal to the fee for the transaction
- If you print your own bill of sale instead of TDMV 22A, ensure it includes all material details — a vague or incomplete BOS can complicate the title transfer
- New Hampshire title applications are prepared by the town or city clerk, a dealer, or a lender — a private buyer starts at the town or city clerk
- Sellers should retain a copy of the signed BOS and remove their registration plates, which belong to the owner not the vehicle in New Hampshire
