New Mexico also has several fees that are connected to vehicle title transfers (not all will apply):
After you pay off a vehicle loan in full, you need a signed lien release from your lender. You will need to submit that with your title and application to the MVD. Once the MVD processes your information, you will receive a new, clear title with the former lender’s information removed. You can complete this process in person at your local MVD office, or by mail. If you elect to complete this process by mail, you will also need to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for your title to be sent back to you.

You will need to visit an MVD Field Office or MVD Express location within the first 60 days of moving to New Mexico. Bring your current title, a completed Application for Title & Registration form (MVD-10002), proof of New Mexico car insurance, two proofs of residency, and a VIN inspection. You will also need to pay the registration fee, which varies from $27 to $62, with additional fees for the title and transfer.
Fill out Form MVD-10901 (Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title) and submit it in person or via mail to the MVD. You will also need to pay the $5-16.50 fee, and provide your driver’s license, VIN, and current vehicle registration.
To replace your vehicle title, you will need to complete Form MVD-10901 and supply your driver’s license and your VIN. You will also need to pay the $5 fee to replace the title. You can do this in person at your local MVD office, or by mail to the main MVD office in Santa Fe.
If the vehicle is not part of any probate, you can submit Form MVD-10011 (Certificate of Transfer Without Probate) along with the original title and the death certificate. Note that the MVD-10011 will need to be notarized. However, if the vehicle was titled jointly, then the surviving owner can sign the title and provide a death certificate to transfer the vehicle into just the survivor’s name. If the vehicle is part of probate, then the estate’s executor must sign the title.
Submit a completed Form MVD-10901 to your local MCD Express location, or by mail. You will need to provide your driver’s license and the damaged title. New Mexico charges a $16.50 fee for duplicate car titles.

You will need to submit the signed lien release that you received from your lender once your loan was paid off. This document goes to the MVD, along with your current car title and application (Application for Title & Registration form (MVD-10002)). Once the MVD processes your information, you will receive a new, clear title in your name only. You can complete this process in person at your local MVD office, or by mail. If you decide to go with the mail-in option, include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for your title to be sent back to you.
