  • payment for New Mexico title and registration transfer fees

Likely next steps

  1. Start with New Mexico's title path instead of a normal renewal.
  2. Bring the assigned title, ownership details, and any lien or tax paperwork MVD requires.
  3. Complete the transfer first so future renewal happens on the correct New Mexico record.
