Vehicle Registration & Renewal

Register Your Vehicle or Motorcycle at MVD Express!

When you buy a new or used vehicle or motorcycle, one of the first things you will need to do is register it with the state of New Mexico. You will also need to do this if you recently moved here from another state. Unlike some of the other MVD services you need to complete, you will need to renew your vehicle registration every single year to continue driving your vehicle legally. Luckily, at MVD Express, we can help you tackle this task easily, so stop by today!

Vehicle Registration

In order to register your vehicle for the first time in the state of New Mexico, you will need to provide a few important documents. We recommend gathering the documents listed below in advance, as this will help speed up the process of registering your vehicle. The documents you need to supply for both vehicles and motorcycles are:

  • Your vehicle’s title or lien holder information
  • A clean emissions test
  • VIN inspection (for out-of-state vehicles)
  • Proof of New Mexico insurance
  • Valid ID for the person on the title
  • Two proofs of residency

Late Registration Fees

If you purchased a new vehicle or you moved here from another state, you will have either 30 or 90 days to title and register your vehicle. Additionally, you will have to remember to renew your vehicle registration every year to avoid late fees. Time sometimes slips away, and it’s easy to forget to register or renew your registration within the time period. However, if you forget, you could face fines or even a police citation.

At MVD Express, we want to do what we can to prevent you from forgetting to renew your vehicle registration, which is why we offer our free registration renewal reminder. Sign up with your email, and we will send you a reminder when it’s time to renew — it’s that easy!
