How should I disclose any prior criminal activity to the NH Commission
Your prior criminal activity will be revealed when you submit the criminal history record authorization form to the NHREC. There are questions on the license application that also ask about your criminal history. If you have any misdemeanor or felony conviction, in addition to positive answers on the application, you must file a criminal record report from that jurisdiction and an Arrest and Conviction Form with the NHREC. Include a detailed explanation of the offense(s).
