Motor Vehicle Registration

I just moved to Boscawen, what do I need to prove my residency so I can register my vehicle?
First you will need to complete a RECORDS CHANGE REQUEST form. This will be accompanied by ONE of the following for proof of residency:
 
  • a current utility bill (electricity, cable, gas, etc) that has your name and the Boscawen address on it OR
  • a copy of your rental agreement/lease or mortgage closing papers OR
  • a paystub or bank statement OR
  • a signed and NOTARIZED LETTER from the property owner (NOT a roommate) where you are living, stating that you do, live at that specific address. This is protection for you and the property owner. Failure to include any items will prohibit issuance of a vehicle registration. 
When renewing your registration your options are as follows:
  1. You may register your renewal online. Go to the home page and click on the Vehicle and Dog Renewals button and follow the prompts. It will be beneficial for you to have your current registration to reference for information.
  2. You may mail your Clerk provided Reminder Letter with payment in the form of check or credit card to 116 North Main Street.
  3. You may use our dropbox. Submit your reminder letter or click here RENEWAL APPLICATION with payment in the form of a check or credit card.
  4. Or you may register over the phone. Our phones are extremely busy however we are happy to assist you with your transaction. Please leave a message and we will call you back as soon as possible. Be advised this may take up to 24 hours depending on call volume and available staff.
