How to Register a Vehicle in Milford
Registering a vehicle in New Hampshire is a two-part process. You always start with your town or city clerk, who collects the local fees and confirms your residency. The state portion comes second.
Step 1: Start at Milford Town Hall
Milford residents begin at Town Hall, 1 Union Square. Call the Town Clerk’s office before you go to confirm current hours and what to bring for your registration.

Step 2: Complete the State Portion at the DMV, If Needed
Most New Hampshire towns can also complete the state portion of a registration for a small extra fee. Ask the Town Clerk whether it can finish yours. If it can’t, bring the paperwork the clerk gives you to your DMV appointment.
Driver’s Licenses and REAL ID
Renewing Your Driver’s License
About two months before your license expires, NH DMV mails a renewal notice. The notice tells you whether you can renew online. If you can’t, book an appointment at Milford or another office.

Bring documents that prove:
- your identity and lawful presence, such as a U.S. passport or a certified birth certificate
- your Social Security number
- your New Hampshire residency
- each legal name change, such as a marriage certificate for each marriage
The state’s REAL ID site has an online document checker that tells you exactly what to bring.

|---|---|
| Driver license (standard) | $50 |
| REAL ID driver license | $60 |
| Non-driver ID card | $10 |
| Duplicate license or ID | $10 |

Knowledge and Road Tests
NH DMV gives knowledge and road tests by appointment only, and road test availability varies between offices. Request a test through the DMV’s appointment system, and check other offices if Milford has no openings.
For a road test, bring:
- a vehicle of the right class for your license that’s fully registered, in safe condition and inspected if required
- a properly licensed driver who drives you to and from the test site and stays until your test is finished
