There is no restriction on residents. The rule is in place because most states require that you register your vehicle at the primary residence or principal place of garaging. Many people from other states who have vacation homes in NH register their vehicles here to save on sales tax and obtain insurance at a lower cost.

NH is set up with the best interest of the full time residents in mind, not vacationers or seasonal residents. When property owners from other states who spend less than 50% of their time in NH register their vehicles here it drives up the insurance cost to the full time residents. The law is to prevent this from happening.

There is no such use restriction on people that have NH as a principal or primary residence.
