Taken from GoMobileNotary Board. Thanks Paw!
2005 State Witness Requirements

CT - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary
FL - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary - DEEDS OF CONVEYANCE ONLY, not mortgages
GA - 2 witnesses, one MUST be the notary
LA - 2 witnesses, CANNOT be the notary
SC - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary

NOTES:
1) FL - Mortgages DO NOT require witnesses, DEEDS (QuitClaim, Warranty, etc.) do.
2) VT - Effective 7/1/04, Act 150, Sec. 1.27 V.S.A. �2 was amended to remove witness requirements.
3). MI-does not require witness.
4) Lenders may require witnesses, even though there is no state requirement.

That information came from Hamilton Co, in Ohio. They also show Florida requiring two witnesses. So, their information for New Hampshire could be wrong - or it may just apply to deeds like it does in Florida and not mortgages.

If in doubt, I would call the local recorders office and find out for sure.

The State of New Hampshire, Revised Statutes, Chapter 477: Conveyances of Realty and Interests Therein, makes no indication of the need for witnesses. Actually, section 477.11: Proof by witnesses, was repealed in 1981.
