Frequently Asked Questions
New Mexico Criminal Records FAQ
Are New Mexico criminal records public?

Yes. In New Mexico, criminal conviction records are public documents accessible through the state repository, county court clerks, and online portals. Arrests without conviction, juvenile records, and expunged records may be restricted or sealed.

How do I get a certified copy of a criminal record?

Request a certified criminal history from the New Mexico state police or the county court clerk where charges were filed. You'll need to provide identifying information (name, DOB, SSN in some states) and pay a fee typically ranging from $15–$30 for a state-level check.

Can I get a New Mexico criminal record expunged?

Eligibility for expungement depends on the offense type, sentence, and waiting period under New Mexico law. Many misdemeanors and first-time non-violent offenses may qualify. See the New Mexico Expungements Guide for full eligibility criteria.
