How to Fill Out a Bill of Sale in New Hampshire

A step-by-step guide to every field on a New Hampshire vehicle bill of sale — with a free filled-in example you can download instantly.

New Hampshire's fill-out process runs through an office no other state uses: the TOWN CLERK. Registration (and the title application) happens at the buyer's town or city hall, not a DMV branch — and with no sales tax anywhere in the state, the price on your bill of sale has zero tax consequences in-state. Fill in the standard fields (parties, vehicle, VIN, odometer, price, date, both signatures — no notary, no official form). Two NH-specific notes: vehicles 20+ model years old are title-EXEMPT (the bill of sale becomes the primary ownership document — make it thorough), and if your buyer is from Massachusetts or Maine, the price you write is exactly what their home state will tax them on.

Step-by-Step: Every Field Explained

1

Seller Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current mailing address
  • City, state, ZIP code
  • Phone number (optional but recommended)
Tip: Spell it the way the registration does, not the way friends do — the New Hampshire DMV checks the transfer against the recorded owner.
2

Buyer Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current mailing address
  • City, state, ZIP code
  • Phone number (optional)
Tip: This name follows the vehicle to the DMV — the buyer's ID and this line need to agree.
3

Vehicle Description

  • Vehicle year (4-digit)
  • Make (manufacturer — e.g., Ford, Toyota)
  • Model (e.g., F-150, Camry)
  • Body style (e.g., sedan, pickup, SUV)
  • Color
  • VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) — 17 characters, found on the dashboard or door jamb
  • Odometer reading at time of sale
Tip: Check every character of the VIN against both the dashboard plate and the ownership document; close enough isn't a concept the registry recognizes.
4

Sale Details

  • Sale price in US dollars (write out both numerals and words — e.g., "$8,500 — Eight thousand five hundred dollars")
  • Payment method (cash, check, electronic transfer)
  • Date of sale (month / day / year)
Tip: New Hampshire has no state sales tax on vehicle sales, so no tax calculation is needed.
5

Seller Signature

  • Seller's signature (must match title)
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: New Hampshire doesn't route this document past a notary — sign it together if you can, and treat the signed copy as a record worth keeping.
6

Buyer Signature

  • Buyer's signature
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: Prepare duplicate originals before signing so neither side leaves with only a promise of a copy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does a New Hampshire buyer register the vehicle?
At their town or city clerk's office — New Hampshire routes vehicle registration through municipal offices, with the state DMV handling the title side. The town visit comes first; many towns process both parts together.
Which vehicles skip the title in New Hampshire?
Vehicles 20 or more model years old are exempt from titling — ownership rides on the bill of sale and prior registration. For those sales, a detailed, signed bill of sale is the closest thing to a title the buyer will ever have.
Is there really no tax on the sale?
None in New Hampshire — no sales tax, no use tax on private vehicle sales. Out-of-state buyers pay their home state's use tax on the price in your bill of sale when they register there.
Does New Hampshire require notarization?
No — plain signatures complete both the bill of sale and the title assignment.
