301.07 How to Verify Residency  (AAM)

____________________________________________________________

Self-attestation of New Hampshire residency is acceptable unless conflicting evidence is present.

Examples of Acceptable Proofs for NH Residency (if conflicting evidence is present):

•       lease, rental agreement, or rent receipt;

•       electric, cable, heating fuel, or telephone bill;

•       property tax bill;

•       motor vehicle registration; or 

•       third party statement (e.g., physician, school, etc.).

Addresses such as post office boxes, rural route addresses, or general delivery addresses cannot establish New Hampshire residency.
