What You Need to Get Started
Before you begin, ensure you have the following readily available to make the process seamless:
- Credit Card for Payment: A valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover) is required to pay the necessary driving record fee. This secure payment system ensures a quick and safe transaction.
- Personal Identification Details: You will need to provide your date of birth and the last 4 digits of your Social Security number for identity verification. This is crucial for protecting your personal information and ensuring only you can access your record.
- New Mexico Driver’s License Number: Locate your 9-digit driver’s license number, which is prominently displayed at the top of your New Mexico driver’s license. This number is essential to retrieve your specific driving record from the NM MVD database.
- Valid Email Address: A valid email address is necessary to receive a receipt confirming your payment and purchase of the driver history record. Keep this email for your records.
Step-by-Step Guide to Retrieving Your Record
Once you have gathered all the necessary items, retrieving your driving record is straightforward:
Upon successful purchase, you’ll have the option to immediately download and/or print your record. This instant access allows you to get the information you need without delay.
If you are unable to download or print your record immediately, don’t worry. The NM MVD online service allows you to “Retrieve a Previously Purchased Record” for up to 30 days after your initial purchase. This option is conveniently located on the right-hand side of the service page. It’s important to note that while you can retrieve the record within this period, it will always reflect the original purchase date.
Understanding Your Driver History Record Options
The New Mexico Mvd provides two types of driver history records to suit different needs:
Non-Certified Driver Record
Non-Certified Driver Record: This is the standard version of your driving record. It is suitable for personal use and informational purposes. However, it’s important to be aware that this non-certified record may not be accepted by employers, insurance agencies, or other official parties that specifically require a certified copy. The cost for a non-certified driver record is $6.63.
Certified Driver Record
Certified Driver Record: For official purposes, a certified copy of your driver record is available. This certified version is accompanied by an official letter of certification directly from the New Mexico MVD, adding an extra layer of authenticity and validity. A certified driver record is typically required for legal proceedings, court appearances, or when requested by government agencies or employers needing official verification. The certified record is available for $9.99.
By offering both non-certified and certified options, the New Mexico MVD ensures you can obtain the specific type of driving record that meets your exact requirements quickly and efficiently online. Whether for personal review or official verification, the online service provides a user-friendly way to access your driving history.
