Inspection is one step of registering your car

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. The title, registration, insurance, and license steps come with it. See every New Mexico step in order, or have us prepare the paperwork for you to sign and send.
