The state rules behind the ledger

Destination title and registration
Title and register at an MVD field office with the ownership document, odometer reading, identity, two New Mexico residency proofs, and insurance evidence. The current new-resident page does not publish a general day-count deadline.
Destination tax and fees
A vehicle acquired out of state for personal use at least 30 days before the move may qualify for a motor vehicle excise-tax exemption; confirm the facts and fees with MVD.
Inspection or VIN
Every vehicle arriving from another state needs a VIN inspection. Not every MVD office performs it, and some require an appointment; Bernalillo County vehicles may also need an emissions certificate.
Old-state recovery
No source-complete Kentucky move-out refund rule is currently available in the calculator. Do not count an unverified refund as savings.
