Automobile & Boat Registrations

Automobile Registration Process Summary

The registration process has two steps:

  • The first fee is paid to one’s place of residence or where the vehicle is housed.
    Concord, or Penacook, NH residents pay this fee to the City of Concord.
  • The second fee is paid to the
    State of New Hampshire – Department of Safety – Division of Motor Vehicle

The City of Concord is now a Municipal Agent of the State of NH, which means you can now do most transactions completely at City Hall, with one check, saving a trip to the DMV. There is a $3.00 agent fee, per registration, for these transactions.
