You will also need to pay several fees as part of the vehicle title process:

  • Town clerk fee (varies, around $2)
  • Transportation fee ($4)
  • License plate fee ($8 for new plates)

New Hampshire Lien Release

After paying off a car loan, you need your lender to sign off on the title or provide a lien release letter. This signifies your outright ownership, and you will need it to apply for a new, clear vehicle title. Contact your lender in writing for a lien release and a letter of non-interest. Once you receive these back from your lender, you will need to take these to your local DMV or Town/City Clerk’s office. Some lenders utilize an electronic lien release system, in which case they will notify the DMV directly to release the lien.
