Select All / Clear All

New Hampshire has adopted Part 396 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs).

Part 396 applies to any self-propelled or towed motor vehicle used on a highway in intrastate and interstate commerce when the vehicle has a gross vehicle weight rating, gross combination weight rating, gross vehicle weight, or gross combination weight of 10,001 pounds or more, or is of any size transporting a placardable amount of hazardous materials.

Annual Inspections - Motor Carrier

An official mandatory periodic vehicle inspection program is administered by the Division of Motor Vehicles, Department of Safety. All vehicles > 10,000 lbs. GVW must be inspected once a year.
All trailers, semitrailers, and full trailers with a registered weight ≥ 3,000 lbs. must be inspected annually. In case of the owner being a private individual, inspection is required on the birth date of the owner and again six months later.
In the case of the owner being a company or corporation, the month assigned is based on the registration month for the legal entity.
Newly registered vehicles and vehicles for which ownership has been transferred, ten days are allowed following registration. If a vehicle is purchased at retail from a licensed dealer, the vehicle shall be inspected no later than 30 days after the date of transfer. In all cases, inspections are made at officially designated inspection stations.
This mandatory inspection program is considered equivalent to the Federal annual inspection requirement in Part 396.
