New Hampshire Bill of Sale — Free Template & Generator
New Hampshire does not title vehicles with a model year of 1999 or older, so for those the bill of sale is the transfer document. The DMV says: “For title exempt vehicles, the seller must provide a properly executed Bill of Sale along with either a current or expired New Hampshire certificate of registration or a valid NH or out-of-state certificate of Title.” For newer vehicles, the title is “signed over to the buyer at the time of the sale.”

The FAQ’s instruction to sellers: “Transfer ownership to the buyer on the reverse side of the title by filling in buyer’s name, buyer’s address, and current odometer reading.”

“The buyer shall apply for a new Title in his or her name at the town/city clerk’s office and register the vehicle. A $35.00 title fee will apply, along with the appropriate registration fees.” The DMV says a title takes approximately 30 to 50 calendar days to issue once the application is received.
How this document fits New Hampshire’s paperwork
Official form: TDMV 22A — Report of Sale or Transfer of a Non-Titled Motor Vehicle. The DMV’s bill of sale for vehicles that do not require a title. The title FAQ says to provide it together with a copy of the previous registration or title, or with a completed Verification of Vehicle Identification (TDMV 19A).
For a 1999-or-older vehicle, the bill of sale is the transfer. Give the buyer a properly executed one — the generated document, or the DMV’s TDMV 22A — together with the old registration or title. For a 2000-or-newer vehicle, sign the title over at the sale with the buyer’s name, address and odometer reading on the back. The bill of sale then records the price and terms. Either way the buyer applies at the town or city clerk.
