Exciting new NH DMV location opening in Raymond
NEWS RELEASE: NH DMV TO OPEN NEW BRANCH IN RAYMOND, CLOSE EPPING LOCATION
RAYMOND, N.H. – The New Hampshire Department of Safety’s Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announces the opening of a new branch in Raymond, within the Raymond Shopping Center, at 17 Freetown Road.
The new Raymond location, which will open for business Monday, Jan. 12, 2026, is replacing the Epping office at 315 Calef Highway. All services and operations at the Epping branch will end at the close of business on Friday, Jan. 9, 2026.
“Continually improving customer service and access to services is a top priority at the DMV,” said New Hampshire Department of Safety Commissioner Robert L. Quinn. “This new, modern location will improve the customer experience by reducing overcrowding, improving workflow, and creating a more efficient and welcoming environment.”
Appointments that have already been scheduled at the Epping branch on or after Jan. 12 will be automatically transferred to the Raymond location. No action is required by customers.
“This new facility offers more counter space to support our expanding operations, provides improved customer access with enhanced parking, and increases safety for licensing tests conducted by our road examiners,” said DMV Director John C. Marasco.
The new Raymond location will be a full-service branch and operate from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with extended hours until 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The DMV conducts over 425,000 in-person transactions at 14 locations around the state each year. As of November 2025, all DMV branches operate on an appointment-only basis. A limited block of same-day appointments is made available each day for customers with urgent transactions. Customers can find appointment availability on the DMV website, where they can select “Make an Appointment” on the homepage. Staff will also assist walk-in customers with finding appointments, including at other DMV locations if necessary.
