How to search New Mexico UCC records

  1. Open Lien Search on enterprise.sos.nm.gov. You don't need to log in.
  2. Click "Advanced" and choose "Debtor Name Search," "Secured Party Name Search," or "Lien Number Search."
  3. Type the exact name. The free search only returns exact matches.
  4. For a search on incomplete data or a certified copy, submit the paid request, which the page calls the equivalent of a UCC11.

Good to know in New Mexico: The free search isn't certified and returns results only when what you type matches exactly, so a small spelling difference can hide a lien.

Reading the results

Each result is a financing statement: a lender (the secured party) telling the public it has a claim on some of a business's property (the debtor's collateral). Open a filing to see who the lender is, when it was filed, when it lapses, and what property it covers. Later filings on the same record, such as amendments, continuations and terminations, show whether the claim is still live.

A filing usually lasts five years unless the lender continues it. A termination means the lender has released its claim. For more on what these filings mean, see what a UCC filing is and our UCC search guide.
