New Mexico Death Certificate Information

Statewide vital records registration officially began in 1920, although there are some records as early as 1889. Births and deaths are now housed at the Bureau of Vital Records, while marriages have always been the responsibility of the county clerk.

For birth and death records from 1889 to the present, write:
