Actually, having recently encountered a very similar situation in MA with getting an inspection w/ out a registration form, it's not obvious that what they did was de jure illegal, much less de facto. In MA, the inspection computers are connected to the RMV computers and it appears they're required to crosscheck the registration and VIN with the RMV anyway regardless of the piece of paper. I don't know what the law actually says in either MA or NH, but I bet if your dealer checked your registration with the NH DMV, then the state would not have a problem with it, and it's likely that the law is even written in such a way to make this situation perfectly legal, but I'm too lazy to actually try to look it up.
