Also per NH Boater Eduaction, there is an easy way to determine if your certificate is acceptable. If your certificate containes the words,
" ISSUED BY ...", it's good.
If your certificate contains the words, "APPROVED BY..." or "MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS..." it's NO GOOD.
For example the BOAT-US, BOAT WISE and BOAT SAFE Courses are not acceptable.
I was told that the fine is $60.00 for the first offense and $300 for the second offense. It's cheaper to take the course.

On the back of my card, there is the
test score:
there is
Instructor: (mine is blank, online course)
Certification Source: Internet
Issued by New Hampshire Department of Safety
I would surmise that another jurisdiction would look at the back and tell me that whereas there was no instructor and the source was the internet, that they do not recognize the course in that jurisdiction. I do think that you will find that ALL NH Online course certificates will state that they were issued by NHDOS.
Just my guess. I seem to remember when I signed up to take the exam, it said that this certification was only good in NH, but perhaps that is just the failings of an aged mind
