Due to concern for the health and safety of its customers and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles will transition to phone and online services starting Thursday and limited appointment only services starting Monday to allow for proper social distancing as defined by the Center for Disease Control.

Walk-in operations at all locations will pause Thursday and Friday, March 19 and 20, to allow staff to train and prepare facilities for appointment-based operations. Online, phone, and mail services will not be interrupted.

Starting Monday, March 23, limited walk-in services will be available by appointment only and consolidated to five locations:

Concord,

Dover,

Manchester,

Newport, and

Twin Mountain.

Starting Friday, customers can call (603) 227-4000 to schedule an appointment. Customers should take advantage of the DMV’s online services, including online driver license renewal, ID renewals, and online ticket pay at www.nh.gov/dmv.

All driver license road exams are canceled until Friday, April 3, 2020.
