My first time at Somersworth City Hall. Went to renew my registration after our move from Dover and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Many, many thanks to Lynn for being amazing! I would have been in and out of there in no time at all which is always a plus, except for the fact that she was so sweet we sat there chatting for more time than it took to actually do all the business I had to do. Thank you so much Lynn, I'm glad that it was slow in there today and we have the opportunity to connect!

I have to say, the staff at the clerk’s office in Somersworth are always extremely helpful every time I’m there. Today, I needed to transfer plates and take care of some paperwork. Kristin was extremely helpful. She was knowledgeable on what forms I needed and what was the best way to register my vehicle. She is the epitome of what friendly small town service should be.
