A proper Bill of Sale will be required for registration of all non-title motor vehicles.

The Bill of Sale shall be in a letter head receipt form from a bonded dealer, a letterhead bill of sale from a dealer, a previous registration from same owner (NH or previous state of residence) or a bill of sale from the seller.
