can a homeowner in the town of litchfield new hampshire pull their own electrical permit for their house?

Helping out a family friend who needs their electrical panel replaced, the old one is all rusted and has old GE made breakers in it. I’m an electrical apprentice about to get my journeyman license. Unfortunately I have to be a master electrician to pull a permit in New Hampshire. I’m curious if the homeowner can still pull a permit for their own house if they do the work themselves. The family friend is elderly and is recovering from a surgery so on paper he’ll be doing the work and I’ll be doing it physically. I’m not really comfortable doing it live with 200 amps right in my face and pulling the meter socket is illegal. If anybody can point me in the right direction I’d appreciate it.
