How to Sell a Vehicle in New Mexico?

When selling a vehicle in New Mexico, the seller usually has to fill out Form MVD-10002, Vehicle Title and Registration Application. If the information is not complete, you are required to fill out Form MVD-10009 as well. The same refers to vessel sales.

Important! The form numbers and names mentioned in the instructions for the MVD-10009 are outdated.

  1. The exact sales price of the vehicle or vessel you sell;
  2. A detailed description of the sold item, including the year, make, model, body type, engine number (if applicable), vehicle or hull identification number, license plate or vehicle registration number. If the document is completed to record the sale of a boat, you also need to enter the overall vessel length, vessel beamwidth, and vessel transom depth;
  3. According to the New Mexico laws, anyone who sells a vehicle within the state must fill out a vehicle odometer disclosure section. This section must include the odometer reading of the transferred car, the specification if the indicated reading is the actual mileage, or if there is odometer discrepancy, printed names of both the seller and the buyer, signatures of both parties, and dates the odometer disclosure statement was signed by each. Do not forget that according to the state law, a fraudulent odometer statement may result in a fine, or imprisonment, or both;
  4. If a vehicle or vessel is sold by a dealer, it must include the dealership name and the dealer's license number;
  5. If there is any lien, the document must include the lienholder's name, address, number, file date, and maturity date;

  8. For the document to be valid, it must be signed by the seller or sellers.
