Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between sealing and expunging a record in New Mexico?▼
In New Mexico, a sealed record is hidden from public view but still exists and remains visible to law enforcement, licensing boards, and some employers. An expunged record is treated by New Mexico law as if it never happened — though FBI and federal records may persist regardless of state action. The relief process in New Mexico is known as "expungement" and runs through the District Court of arrest.
Can my employer see a sealed record in New Mexico?▼
Generally, most private employers running a standard name-based check cannot see a sealed New Mexico record. However, government employers, law enforcement, schools, healthcare facilities, and any role requiring a fingerprint-based check can see sealed records under specific statutory exemptions. Confirm specifics with the sealing court.
How do I run a New Mexico background check?▼
New Mexico background checks are handled by the New Mexico Department of Public Safety – Law Enforcement Records Bureau. Name-based searches are available through the official state portal (per-search fee applies). Fingerprint-based checks — required for licensing, foster care, and many employers — must be submitted through an approved vendor.
Are New Mexico marriage records public?▼
Marriage records in New Mexico are generally public — anyone can verify that a marriage occurred and request a non-certified copy. Certified copies (needed for legal purposes like name changes or immigration) may be restricted to the spouses, immediate family, or those with a court order.
