Need for the Document

State-issued ID cards are used as a primary proof of identity by those who do not have other means to do so. In most cases, citizens use their driver's license to prove who they are and how old. However, some people do not possess a driver's license, yet they need a valid ID?such as when they open a bank account or write a check.

Information which might help

Because New Mexico does not have automated renewal services available, you will need to go in person to your local Motor Vehicle Division Office to process your ID card renewal.

Other uses of the Document/Certificate

This document can be used as prove of your identity, and to prove your age and address.
