Good to Know — New Hampshire Quirks
All NH record types cost $20.00 (raised from $15 effective January 1, 2026 under RSA 263:42 — older sources still show $15). Look-back is baked into the record type rather than sold as year tiers: the Insurance record shows 3 years of accidents/5 of convictions; Certified and Non-Certified show 5-year accidents, 7-year convictions, 10-year DWI. Only the Certified record carries the Director's raised seal. The online portal is self-request only. CDL data (endorsements, medical certificate) is included on standard records; there is no separate CDL product.
Why You Need This Record
If you drive a commercial vehicle, your MVR does two jobs. First, FMCSA rule 49 CFR 391.23 requires a driving record from every state where you held a license in the last 3 years in your driver qualification (DQ) file — within 30 days of hire and annually after that. Owner-operators under their own authority keep a DQ file on themselves. Second, insurance carriers pull an MVR on every listed driver before releasing a quote; bringing a New Hampshire record dated within 30 days speeds up underwriting and avoids surprises at bind time.
