New Mexico court records are filed with the County Clerk / District Court Clerk. The District Court / Magistrate Court / Metropolitan Court handles trial-level cases. New Mexico offers a statewide court search through NM Courts Case Lookup, which covers most case types across all counties courts.
What this page covers: New Mexico state court case records — criminal, civil, family, and probate filings. What it does not cover: Federal court cases (those are on PACER) or sealed/juvenile records.
Where to start: Use NM Courts Case Lookup for online case search. If you need documents beyond docket information, contact the County Clerk / District Court Clerk in the specific county where the case was filed.
Common mistake: NM Courts Case Lookup covers state courts only. Federal cases filed in New Mexico (bankruptcy, federal criminal, federal civil) require PACER — a separate federal system.
