Does a Seller Remove License Plates in New Hampshire
In New Hampshire, when you sell a vehicle, the license plates generally remain with the seller. You will need to remove the plates from the vehicle at the time of sale. Here are the key steps and helpful resources:
1. Remove License Plates
After selling the car, the seller is responsible for removing the plates. The buyer should not take the plates as they remain the seller's property.
For more information, check the official New Hampshire DMV guide on Selling Your Vehicle.
2. Transfer or Return Plates
Once removed, you may either transfer the plates to another vehicle or return them to your local DMV. If you plan to transfer the plates, you must register them on a new vehicle within a certain period.
Learn more about plate transfers on the New Hampshire DMV website.
3. Cancel Your Registration
After removing the plates, it is important to cancel your registration to avoid any future liability.
Visit the NH Online Registration Cancellation page for the process.
For any additional details, please consult the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
