Recording Requirements


The Registry will not accept any records that do not follow New Hampshire law, as promulgated under the Revised Statutes Annotated, Title XLVIII, Chapter 478. We cannot deviate from these standards. Read 478 first, as our recording standards are found there, and always follow the latest version of 478, no matter when these instructions were updated.
