Or I should be smarter...
Not having a firm grasp of the map yet, from alton bay, which DMV office is closest? Now that I have a home, I want to get my licence on this trip. Thanks |

Welcome to life in the Lakes Region! We are 45 minutes from almost everything, but that is part of its charm!

Tamworth? Or is that further than Concord from Alton.

Once you move here you have 60 days to get your license. So IMO it would be best to get to know your way around a little and then pick the DMV that looks good to you.
For now I would just do a google search for DMV locations and then pick what you want after you have been here a while. After being here a month you will have a better grasp of just how far you are from everything and then make your plans from there. You have a lot to do so don't try to do everything by using the internet.

A friend got her license in Rochester too. That might be closer to Alton, assuming they still do it there.

Tamworth is the best to use because it's right off from Rt 16 and would be a nice scenic drive from Alton. Concord is closer to Alton and I can't say if it easy to get to or not.

As DRH posted earlier in this thread, there are few locations left in the state. Here is the link again: http://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/d...ations/map.htm The Belmont office (Belmont Mall) and the Rochester office in the strip mall where Planet Fitness is located were both closed when the bright lights in Concord closed a number of offices. Those two offices were reasonably close to Alton. Tamworth is perhaps a little farther from Alton, but a nice ride. Concord may be a little closer, but perhaps that office is busier than the Tamworth office, so it may be more time consuming. Flip a coin, I guess.

A trip down Rte 11 onto the Laconia Bypass (Rte 3) shouldn't be an issue.
I love the trips to Concord. Further down 393 from the DMV is the Ft Eddy Road Strip where LL Bean, Market Basket, EMS Sports, Staples etc. is located. Or head downtown and visit the capitol and many fine shops and restaurants. Check out the Concord Chamber website for more info! http://www.concordnhchamber.com/

Since all these locations are pretty far, depending on how you arrive on this trip I would find one that's on your route to Alton and get it on your way there. Or maybe not if you like to drive around and explore.

Trending counter to most of the posts, living on the Farmington/Rochester side of things, our center for shopping/services tends to be Dover/Rochester.
Head south on Rt. 11, toward a lot of shopping in Dover/Newington, there is a DMV right off the highway in Newington/Portsmouth. (:-) when you are retired, you have time for these road trips) |

Make sure you have your Post Office mailing address correctly set up.
Post Office requires all sorts of Homeland Security information now. I think that they mail you the new drivers license. |

I believe they give you a paper license that is good for 60 days, and then mail you the permanent one.

You will need two forms of ID documentation, plus proof of residency. The following link takes you to a .PDF document at the NH Dept. of Safety's website that provides the specific requirements: http://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/d...-residency.pdf Assuming "your papers are in order" and you pass the eye test, you will receive a temporary paper license. Then, as TheProfessor and upthesaukee said, your permanent plastic license will be mailed to you.

From the Alton Circle (Rt. 11), the Dover RMV is a very straight shot, all on highways (Rt. 11, Rt. 16/Spaulding Turnpike...there are a few tolls, .75 each)
Unless you go at rush hour (AM or PM), shouldn't take you much more than 30 minutes from the circle. |
