Is a Florida Non-Resident Permit Valid in New Hampshire?

Recognized — and permitless carry appliesVerified 2026-09-27

Yes. New Hampshire recognizes the Florida non-resident permit — and because New Hampshire has permitless carry, a permit isn't strictly required for eligible carriers anyway.

Why

New Hampshire has no inbound recognition statute because none is needed — no license is required to carry. Any out-of-state permit holder (or non-holder) who may lawfully possess a firearm may carry. RSA 159:6-d addresses only outbound reciprocity for NH licenses; the State Police publish the list of states honoring NH resident licenses.
