WAYS TO RENEW YOUR BOAT REGISTRATION

  • If you have received a renewal registration from the state, you may sign all copies and mail back to the address indicated on your paperwork with payment to them.
  • If you have received a renewal registration from the state, you may sign all copies, add $5.00 to the total due, submit to Town Clerk, 2 Town Hall Rd with a check payable to the Town of Newton. 
  • Renew in person. Come to the clerks office with your old registration or BOW number.
  • If we are to mail registrations to you, please enclose a SASE, or you may choose to pick up.  Let us know.

NEW BOAT REGISTRATION

  • You will need a complete BILL OF SALE and a previous registration or title (the state of NH does not title boats).  If there is no title or registration, you will need a HIN verification 

Any motorized boat operated on the public waters of New Hampshire, including tidal and coastal waters and all inland waters, must be registered and must display the bow number issued by the DMV as part of the registration process, unless the boat is exempt as provided in RSA 270-E:4 Boats may be registered at any time of year, but each boat registration expires on December 31st of the year it was registered.
