Changes Coming to NH Inspection Stickers

There will be a new look and a new location for them on your car.

Starting Oct. 1, inspection stickers will be affixed to the lower, driver side corner of a vehicle’s windshield, the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles announced Tuesday.

This change was prompted by many newer model vehicles being equipped with crash avoidance technology located in the area where inspection stickers are currently affixed near the top central of windshields.

The DMV has also redesigned the existing sticker in order to improve the current inspection sticker issuance process. The new inspection stickers will have both the month and year of expiration printed on them and will contain several new security features including a hologram backer. Certain vehicles, such as motorcycles, will continue to utilize the current inspection stickers.
