New Mexico Local DMV Office FAQs

1. How do I renew my New Mexico driver’s license?

In New Mexico, if you meet eligibility requirements—such as holding a valid license with no changes to your personal information—you can renew your driver’s license online through the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division website. If not, you’ll need to visit a local MVD office with your current license and required documents for identity and residency, and you may be required to complete a vision test during the in-person renewal process.

2. What documents are required to register a vehicle in New Mexico?

To register your vehicle in New Mexico, you must show proof of ownership, typically via your vehicle title or bill of sale if transferring from another state, along with a completed registration application. You’ll also need to provide proof of valid auto insurance and documentation verifying your New Mexico residency, such as a utility bill or lease agreement. Depending on your vehicle’s history, additional documents like a VIN verification or emissions certificate may be required.

3. How do I transfer my out‑of‑state driver’s license to New Mexico?

New residents are required to obtain a New Mexico driver’s license within 90 days of establishing residency. To complete the transfer, visit a local MVD office with your current out‑of‑state license, acceptable proof of identity (such as a passport or birth certificate), your Social Security documentation, and two documents verifying your New Mexico residency. A vision test is generally required, and if your out‑of‑state license is expired or nearly expired, additional testing may be necessary.
