The buyer must title and register within 30 days using MVD Form MVD-10002 (Application for Vehicle Title and Registration) alongside the assigned title (and the bill of sale, when needed) — notarization is not required.

New Mexico Free Printable Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Both legal names and both addresses go on the document
- Document the whole VIN alongside year, make, model, and odometer
- State the purchase price — New Mexico's Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) is 4% of the sale price (or of the NADA value if the price is under 80% of it)
- Both parties date and sign the bill of sale
- Seller completes the assignment of title section on the reverse of the certificate of title
- Buyer completes MVD Form MVD-10002 (Application for Vehicle Title and Registration)
- Submit the assigned title and Form MVD-10002 (plus the BOS, if the title assignment is incomplete) to a New Mexico MVD office within 30 days
Common Pitfalls
- When the title assignment is incomplete, the BOS (MVD-10009) must supply the purchase price, odometer disclosure, and signatures — an incomplete BOS can delay MVD processing
- The Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) is assessed on the declared sale price, unless it is under 80% of NADA value; ensure the price is accurate
- Missing the 30-day deadline triggers a $20 late transfer fee; the clock starts on the date of transfer
- No emissions or safety inspection is required statewide, but buyers should verify local ordinance requirements in their county
- Sellers with a remaining lien on the title must obtain a lien release before the transfer can be completed
New Mexico Free Printable Bill of Sale — FAQs
Is notarization required for a New Mexico vehicle bill of sale?
No. New Mexico does not require notarization of a private-party vehicle bill of sale. Both parties simply sign the document.
What is Form MVD-10002?
MVD-10002 is the New Mexico Application for Vehicle Title and Registration, which the buyer must complete and submit to the MVD along with the assigned title (and the BOS, when the assignment is incomplete). It is available on the New Mexico MVD website.
Is there a vehicle inspection requirement in New Mexico?
New Mexico does not have a statewide mandatory vehicle inspection for private sales. However, some counties may have local emissions requirements, so check with your county before purchasing.
How many copies belong in each party's records?
Print at least two signed copies — one for the buyer to submit to the MVD with the title application and one for the seller to retain as proof of sale.
