This Is a Private Reference, Not a Records Office. New Mexico Residents Directory cannot search an agency file for you, issue a certified copy, confirm a current address, or change a public record. Contact the custodian that holds the file. Call 911 for an emergency. If someone is stalking or harassing you, contact local law enforcement.
Reach the Right Record Office
New Mexico records are decentralized. Start with the office named for the record, and use the relevant directory page for its search route:
- Property and street records: use the New Mexico street directory route to find the county assessor or clerk.
- Older printed volumes: check New Mexico city directory collections at libraries and archives.
- One person across several records: follow the New Mexico resident lookup path.
- Records held by a public agency: read the Secretary of State's Inspection of Public Records Act request guidance, then send a focused request to that agency's custodian.
For recorded documents in Santa Fe County, contact the Santa Fe County Clerk's public-record access office at 240 Grant Ave, Santa Fe, NM. The office lists phone (505) 986-6280, email clerk@santafecountynm.gov, and weekday hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. This is a county custodian, not a statewide records desk. For another New Mexico record, contact the agency or county office that maintains it.
