Obtaining a vehicle title is a crucial step for legal ownership in New Mexico. Whether you’re buying a new car, motorcycle, or transferring ownership, MVD Express is here to assist you every step of the way. Follow this guide to ensure a smooth title application process.

Gather the Necessary Documents

To expedite your title transfer, bringing the right documents is essential. You’ll need a valid driver’s license or ID, and two proofs of New Mexico residency if your ID address isn’t current. Also, have the original or certified Dealer’s Invoice, Bill of Sale, or lien information, along with proof of active liability insurance.

Proof of Insurance Matters

In New Mexico, proof of insurance is required to acquire your vehicle title. Your liability coverage must meet the state’s minimums—$25,000 for bodily injury per person, $50,000 for total bodily injury, and $10,000 for property damage. Make sure your insurance is active before your visit.

Emissions and VIN Inspections

If your vehicle was manufactured after 1977, an emissions test is mandatory. This test ensures that your vehicle complies with environmental regulations. Additionally, motorcycles and out-of-state vehicles require a VIN inspection, so be prepared to have these completed beforehand.
