ACCESS TO NEW MEXICO STATE CRIMINAL RECORDS

To find out if an individual has a criminal record in the state of New Mexico we check the state repository, the relevant county criminal court records, and civil court records. 

Thirty-two (32) of the thirty-three (33) counties of New Mexico allow felony records available by phone, fax or mail. Only three (3) of these require a release signed by the subject of the search. If the county, or counties, specified can only mail records back to us then there will be an unavoidable delay in processing the record request.
         
The state is divided into thirteen (13) Judicial Districts with a District Court in each county. These District Courts handle felony cases and civil cases involving amounts of over $5,000. Magistrate Courts handle misdemeanor cases and civil cases involving amounts of less than $5,000. There may be one or more Magistrate Court for each county.
