If, for whatever reason, you suddenly discover your car registration certificate missing, you'll need to act fast and replace it. New Mexico law requires all drivers to carry proof of vehicle registration at all times when behind the wheel. Consequently, you'll risk getting ticketed if stopped without proof of registration.

Proof of Compliancy With Register Car Law

You'll need to go through the MVD to apply for a duplicate car registration certificate. If you order in person, visit your local MVD field office with proper identification and payment to cover the $5 replacement fee. The advantage of applying in-person is that you'll receive your new car registration certificate immediately.

Or, if you prefer, you can apply for a duplicate via the phone, or what the MVD refers to as its Integrated Voice Response system. When calling, have proper identification (drivers license, license plate number) and a valid credit card at the ready. A phone voice will prompt you through the process. If you live in Santa Fe, call (505) 827-4636, or, otherwise, dial (888) 683-4636.
