Current through Register No. 40, October 3, 2024

(a) Determination by a municipal agent that an applicant for late renewal has not operated their motor vehicle since expiration of the registration shall constitute satisfactory proof of non-operation within the meaning of RSA 261:141, VI. En such an event, the municipal agent shall compute fees by pro-rating from the month of application. If the municipal agent is not satisfied that the applicant has not operated their vehicle since expiration of the registration and the applicant so desires, an appeal may be taken to the director. In such a case, no municipal permit shall be issued.

(b) An applicant, alter making a request of the director, shall be deemed to have not operated the applicant's motor vehicle since expiration of the registration if the applicant can show, by a preponderance of the evidence, that:

(1) The applicant's privilege to operate the motor vehicle in question has been under suspension or revocation for the majority of the time since expiration of the registration, and the applicant has not been arrested for a conviction of a driving offense alleged to have occurred during that period of time;

(2) The registrant or primary operator of the vehicle in question has been seriously ill for the majority of the time since expiration of the registration;

(3) The registrant or primary operator of the vehicle in question has been absent from the state without the vehicle for the majority of the time since expiration of the registration; or

(4) Any other convincing proof of non-operation.

(c) If the director finds that the applicant has not operated the vehicle in question since expiration of the registration, a letter stating such shall be given to the applicant. The applicant shall present this letter to the appropriate municipal agent who, upon receipt, shall compute fees by pro-rating from the month of application.
