Interstate DBE Applications

Business whose principal place of business is located outside of New Hampshire State, as defined by 49 CFR 26.5 and 23 CFR 23.3, must be certified as a DBE in their original Jurisdiction of Certification (JOC) before they can be certified as a DBE by the NHDOT. The NHDOT is the sole DBE certifying agency for the State of New Hampshire. There is no cost to obtain DBE certification.
