How to Register a Vehicle in Nashua
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 Nashua City Hall
In Nashua, registrations are handled by the city’s Motor Vehicle Registration office at City Hall. The City of Nashua is a municipal agent for the state, so the office can usually complete the state portion of your registration too, for a small extra fee. That means most Nashua residents can finish the whole process at City Hall without visiting the DMV.
You can also renew a registration online through the city, though online payment covers renewals only. New registrations can’t be done online.
| Detail | Nashua Motor Vehicle Registration |
|---|---|
| Address | Nashua City Hall, 229 Main Street, Nashua, NH 03060 |
| Phone | (603) 589-3200 |
| Hours and appointments | Check the city’s Motor Vehicle Registration page before you go |
| Online | Registration renewals only |
Step 2: Complete the State Portion at the DMV, If Needed
You’ll only need the Nashua DMV for registration if you live in a town whose clerk can’t complete the state portion, or if your transaction is one your clerk can’t handle. In either case, bring the paperwork from your town or city clerk 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 Nashua or another office.
Documents Needed for a REAL ID
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.
License and ID Fees
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| Driver license (standard) | $50 |
| REAL ID driver license | $60 |
| Non-driver ID card | $10 |
| Duplicate license or ID | $10 |
| Address change reprint | $3 |
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 Nashua 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
