Here's the
NH law:
Quote:

A person shall not be required to obtain a certificate of boating safety education if the person holds a certificate from any state indicating successful completion of boating safety education that meets or exceeds the requirements of this subdivision...

A certificate obtained online after 1/1/07 from another state without a proctored examination does not "meet or exceed" the NH requirements and would not be valid according to the letter of the law.
Despite the wording of the law, the Marine Patrol Director has said that officers could not make these kind of determinations on the water and would accept all NASBLA approved safety certificates.
