Project Overview

The C.O.M.P.A.S.S. Project scope is to provide the citizens of New Hampshire the capability to renew certain motor vehicle "passenger" registrations over the internet.

Project Origin

The project concept originated as part of the Business Requirements definition task during the development of the new automated Registration and Title System Project known as MAAP. The MAAP Project was originated in early 2000, and is scheduled for implementation in the fall of 2004. As part of his technology vision, Governor Benson has proclaimed C.O.M.P.A.S.S. a high priority objective for the State and thus the Division of Motor Vehicles has accelerated the implementation timeframe to June 1, 2004.

Project Scope

The State C.O.M.P.A.S.S. service is available as a statewide program. Municipalities have the option to join the program on an individual basis. Visit the web site listed below to check if your municipality has joined and been implemented into C.O.M.P.A.S.S.. A list of interested municipalities and their projected implementation date can be found at Municipalities Registered to Participate.

Primary Process: As of June 1, 2004, interested citizens are able to log on the Department of Motor Vehicles’ web site to perform the transaction. A credit card payment is required for both the Municipal and State fees. The citizen will receive a confirmation number following a successful transaction. The registration and license plate decals will be mailed to the citizen.
