If the voter registration application is submitted by mail and it is the first time you have registered in your county or in the state, you must submit a copy of an acceptable form of ID.
Acceptable forms of ID are:
- a current valid photo ID
- a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck
- a student ID card
- an ID issued by an Indian nation, tribe or pueblo that shows your name and current address
- or other government document that shows your name and address.
Submitting this identification information will allow you to avoid showing personal identification at your polling place on Election Day.
If you wish to register to vote online you will need a current or expired New Mexico State ID or driver’s license.
