New Mexico bills of sale for motor vehicles are required to legalize the sale and register the vehicle. Those who want to register their newly acquired motor vehicle have to submit the relevant package of documents to a local MVD office:
Fees for registered used motor vehicles in New Mexico are set depending on the vehicle type, starting from $27 to $62 (for one year) or $54-124 for two years of registration.
The seller must complete a Notice of Vehicle Sold form (MVD-10048) under Section 66-3-101(A) of NMSA 1978. This form should be mailed to the Motor Vehicle Division of Santa Fe or online. The document notifies the relevant state agencies that the vehicle previously owned by the seller has been transferred to another person and is no longer in this resident’s possession. The Notice should include the VIN of the sold vehicle, its make, model, model year, license plate number, and the date of the sale. The vehicle’s odometer mileage is also recorded in the Notice at the moment of transfer. Including incorrect details in the Notice is considered perjury per the Motor Vehicle Code and is legally prosecuted as a fourth-degree felony.
Odometer Disclosure Statement or Form MVD-10187 states the vehicle mileage and is required during the ownership transfer.
A vehicle power of attorney can give a limited right to represent another person regarding the vehicle matters.
Affidavit of Gift of Motor Vehicle or Boat (Form MVD-10018) can be used when the owner transfers the vehicle’s or vessel’s title to another person without consideration, monetary or other.
