Being new to the state, how do you know when to get your vehicle inspected ?

How often ?

We registered our cars in November 2014.

If you change your registration to NH, you need inspection within 20 days. Otherwise inspection is due on the owner's birthday month.

Inspections
All New Hampshire registered vehicles require a safety inspection to be conducted within ten (10) days of the registration. After the initial inspection, registered vehicles must be re-inspected every year, no later than ten (10) days after the end of the owner's birth month. When a vehicle changes owners, it must be inspected in the new owner's name within ten (10) days of the registration date, even if the original inspection sticker has not expired. Please note that antique motor vehicles must be inspected in the month of April (Saf-C 3224).

This. Every year you get a bill from the town for registering your vehicle(s). Once it has been renewed you have until the end of the month (your birth month) to get it inspected. They will want the registration paperwork.

I have had my vehicles inspected in several years in early March (my birth month) and renewed my registration near the end of the month. Never had a question from the dealership(s). Only a few times has anyone said "that my registration is due to be renewed.

I think you might be right, considering your current registration is still valid until the end of the month.

If you have a company vehicle as I do, your birthday plays no role in the dates. I have a GMC and those come up in June. I believe other manufacturers have different dates.
