Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs When Selling Your Cars Privately in NH

How do I prepare my New Hampshire title for sale?

toggle

To legally transfer ownership, you must complete the "Assignment of Title" section on the back of your Certificate of Title. You need to:
Enter the buyer's full name and address.
Write down the current odometer reading.
Fill in the date of the sale.
Sign your name exactly as it appears on the front of the title.
Do not use correction fluid or cross out information, as this can void the title.

What if my car doesn't have a title?

toggle

In New Hampshire, vehicles with a model year of 1999 or older are exempt from titling. If you are selling an exempt vehicle, you do not need a title to transfer ownership. Instead, you will provide the buyer with a properly executed Bill of Sale along with a Verification of Vehicle Identification (Form TDMV 19A), which must be completed by an authorized agent like a law enforcement officer or licensed dealer.

What if I've lost my title or it has a lien?

toggle

If you've lost the title for your 2000 or newer vehicle, you must apply for a duplicate title from the NH DMV before you can sell it. If you have an outstanding loan on the car, the lienholder’s name will be on the title. You must pay off the loan in full. The lender will then release the lien, allowing you to get a clear title.

Is a Bill of Sale required in New Hampshire?

toggle

Yes, a Bill of Sale is required for all private vehicle sales. This document is essential for the buyer to register the car, especially if it is a title-exempt older model. The Bill of Sale must include:
The vehicle’s year, make, model, and VIN.
The purchase price and date of sale.
The full names and signatures of both the seller and the buyer.
Both you and the buyer should keep a signed copy for your records.

Do I collect sales tax from the buyer?

toggle

No. New Hampshire is one of the few states with no general sales tax. As a private seller, you do not need to worry about collecting any sales tax from the buyer.

Does my car need a safety inspection before I can sell it?

toggle

No. In New Hampshire, the seller is not required to have the vehicle inspected before a private sale. The responsibility for getting a passing safety and emissions inspection falls on the buyer. The buyer must have the vehicle inspected within 10 days of registering it in their name.
