To update the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Department of your name change, visit in person with the following:

  • your New Mexico certified or original legal name change document; and
  • payment of the fee $18 (4-yr. renewal) or $34 (8 yr. renewal).

New Mexico Vehicle Title and Registration Name Change

Don’t forget to also change your name on your vehicle’s title and registration while you’re at the MVD.

For your vehicle title and registration be prepared to “transfer” title to your new name by completing the title transfer form, but BEFORE YOU DO THIS, MAKE SURE TO ASK THE NEW MEXICO MVD. We have not been able to confirm the procedure. In other jurisdictions, they have you:

  • Complete the transfer form putting your new name in the “Seller” portion; and
  • Pay a fee.

Please confirm in the comments or raise any issues you have here and we’ll be certain to update it for future users! Thanks in advance.

Moving? If you are moving, you can update your address online, or handle it in person while you are changing your name. See our moving links below in Step 4.

Note that New Mexico requires you do this within 10 days of the move.
