I currently live in CT.. a very good chance I will get a position in new Hampshire
Ct doesn't reg mopeds. No paperwork needed.
Nobody ever gave me paperwork, all bikes are legit. 2 I've owned longer than 10 years.
How hard will it be to reg? I googled and search here but only info is for people to register in Vermont WITH paperwork.
N.h DMV says I need titles.
How can I prove I am legal owner of 40-50 year old MOPEDS that never require paperwork here?
Any info/suggestions? (edited)
Just do the Vermont trick if you need to. You send them a bill of sale with the money and paperwork and receive a plate and registration. Take the reg it the dot and get a title.
I imagine since you are moving from a non title state they may have a solution in place. But if not vermont
I don't have a bill of sale, I doubt the one guy from 10 years ago is still alive at this point.
I figured Vermont route, but I have absolutely 0 paperwork for 3 puchs and 2 derbis.
Should I just make up bill of sales as I reg them? Figure I could reg 2 and just swap the plates between models.
Well I wouldn't swap plates. But I'm saying they may have a system in place to get your bikes titled as you are coming from a non title state. May be as simple as going to the dot and getting an inspection.
If not just right up a bill of sale with the approx date and send it to vermont.lol. you are close enough so if you go with the Vermont route I'd probably just keep the reg and not title it. But whatever.
When you get your license changed, explain as clearly as possible that you have mopeds, there is no way to register them in the state you're from, you've owned them for 10 years, and that you want to give your new state tax money. If you can't try to get plates at the same time as you getting your new license, keep your old license to show that you've just moved. If that doesn't work then I guess you can do Vermont
Sounds good guys, appreciate it.
Your absolutely fucked! Those cops will arrest you so quick
I'm surprised that the Live free or Die state would be so demanding for a moped. You could make a bill of sale with all available information as best effort and try your luck. When they call you up, just set your paperwork on the counter and innocently look in other direction and see what happens, it has worked for me.

It’s probably stolen
Just call the NH DMV and tell them your situation, I would think they would have a procedure in place as people move from state to state all the time. At the very least they may ask for the original bill of sale if you’re from a non title state. You may also want to run the vins through an online vin checker to be sure they aren’t stolen before attempting to register in NH. Since CT doesn’t title or register 49cc or lower mopeds, you never know if it’s stolen or not. (edited)
Dude it's too easy. Have a buddy write you a bill of sale for each bike and reg at the DMV as if you never had any of them registered. Write on the bill the make, model, color, engine size, year, vin, and they will want it to have your address as well as the sellers address. Both sign, date and youre good to go. No need for title, insurance, inspection or any of that junk. $6 for each plate at the DMV, $3 to renew each year at the local town hall. I do it often for bikes that i forgot to get a BOS for or lost them.
They will question any VIN that isnt 17 digits, like on an older puch, but just tell them that is the actual vin and to ask their supervisor and they will go out back and come back to the desk ashamed and confused but will give you a plate. Works every time, it's quite entertaining. If you have newer bikes with 17 digit vin it might pull up in the system, so if you have like an MB-5 or something, you might get told that needs a motorcycle reg cus it will be in the system as a motorcycle. Idk if that's the case for that bike specifically, I know for newer bikes it is, but i'm about to try to register an MB-5 as a moped so i hope not lol
Oh, and write 49cc, not 50cc. Had one occurrence where they told me that because the BOS said 50cc I had to get a motorcycle plate (which is BS and them again not understanding their own moped laws which state "50cc and under" not "under 50cc") but they let me edit the BOS right there in front of them lol
And of course, dont be loud and fast near cops, since all your bikes meet decibel laws and top out at 30 mph *wink wink*
LIVE REE OR DIE (most likely on a totally legal registered uninsured uninspected death trap moped)
You absolutely do not need a title for a moped in NH. You have been misinformed. Just a bill of sale.
I think im the only person in the thread who is actually from the state, sooooo yeah dont listen to them lmao (edited)
I’m from NH too and this guy is right.

Yup^ Easy Peasy
Cool, DMV said I needed b.o.s at a minimum. I've only ever registered 2 cars and a motorcycle at a DMV.
Depending on your town you might be able to call the Town Clerk who can process everything and you'd just pick the plate up at the DMV.
No you have to go to a main DMV branch for mopeds. They have drop boxes if you don’t want to wait and they call you that day or the next. Doesn’t matter what BOS says and new reg is $6.50 and $3 to renew. Get a BOS here: https://eforms.com/bill-of-sale/nh/new-hampshire-vehicle-bill-of-sale/

Just registered 3 mopeds today at the Nashua DMV. In and out in about 15 minutes, no appointment necessary. Initial reg must be done at the DMV, then you can renew each year at your local town hall, though that might vary town to town.
