The RSA is quite clear, any certificate including a NASBLA certificate is good in NH if the issuance of the certificate meets or exceeds the standards required for a certificate to be issued in this State.
The problem is it is nearly impossible, in the field, to determine with accuracy whether the issung State or internet agency meets NH's newest standard, that being that online tests are not allowed.
Regardless of what the RSA states, if it is the policy of the NHMP to accept any certificate or license that is NASBLA approved then the actuality is you shouldn't receive a summons. However, after many many years of dealing with these issues I would advise anyone pursuing such a course of action follow Coolbreeze's efforts and obtain the name and title along with date & time of the individual in Glendale giving you the OK.
As a final note remember, this advice only applies to an out of State boater who has obtained a NASBLA certified certificate since the first of this year and took a test online.
Giving the preceding paragraph I believe we are probably talking about a very small number of potential boaters.
Thanks for the plug KC!
