Operating without a valid license is a violation of state law and could result in fines, penalties, or suspension of business activities. Renewing your license on time ensures uninterrupted compliance and safeguards your dealership’s ability to continue serving your customers.
Licensing/Renewals
All new Motor Vehicle Retail Sellers in New Hampshire are done via the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS). If your company is currently licensed and changes of ownership or status occur the company must update the NMLS. Follow-up information may be requested.
The steps for renewing your license, as outlined on the NMLS website include the following:
Step 1: Confirm you are able to access your NMLS account by logging in with your username and password. If you are having issues accessing your account, see NMLS Account Recovery for more information.
Complete the steps below to prepare for NMLS Annual Renewal.

For step-by-step instructions and resources on preparing your company for renewal, please see this guide.
Step 2: Review all applicable state(s) renewal requirements.

As of November 1st, licensees can log in to NMLS, click the Renewals Tab, and request renewal of their license(s). Alternatively, licensees also have the ability to identify licenses they do not wish to renew.
For step-by-step instructions and resources, please see the company renewal handbook.
What happens after you’re done renewing?
Once the renewal request is completed, a "Renewal Requested" status displays in the Composite View tab of NMLS (see screenshot below).
The licensee receives a confirmation email from NMLS. The state agency is notified, reviews your request, communicates any identified issues, and updates the status of your renewal request accordingly.
