HULL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (HIN)

The Hull Identification Number is a unique 12-digit number assigned by the manufacturer to vessels built in 1973 to present. Owners of older vessels manufactured without a HIN or of homemade vessels that have not been assigned HIN should have a Verification of Vessel Identification completed by a New Hampshire law enforcement officer.

If there is no HIN number, you must provide the following to the DMV:

• A Boat Registration Application
• A HIN Verification Form
• A copy of your Drivers License and phone number
• A Bill of Sale which must include the date of the sale, the description of boat, signatures and addresses of both the buyer(s) AND seller(s)
