Look up a New Mexico company

This is New Mexico’s own search, loaded from the state’s website. Any security check it shows comes from the state. It finds the company, not usually its EIN. Open it in a new tab.

What the New Mexico business search shows

The New Mexico Secretary of State keeps New Mexico’s record of companies formed or registered there. Use it to confirm a company’s exact legal name and whether it is active.

The New Mexico business ID

The New Mexico Secretary of State gives every company a business ID when it is formed. It identifies the company in state records, and it is not the company’s EIN.

Check if a New Mexico LLC is active

Search the company in the New Mexico business search and open its record. The status tells you whether the state counts the company as active. Words such as dissolved, revoked, forfeited, inactive or delinquent mean it is not in good standing, usually because an annual filing or fee was missed, and the company may need to be reinstated before it can do business there.

To prove a company is in good standing to a bank, a lender or another state, order a certificate of good standing from the New Mexico Secretary of State. Our LLC status check reads the status from public data where a state publishes it.

Good to know in New Mexico

  • New Mexico does not require LLCs to file an annual or biennial report with the Secretary of State. Corporations file a biennial report; LLCs file nothing after formation unless something changes, which is unusual and means the state tax registration is the only recurring state relationship most New Mexico LLCs have.
  • New Mexico has a gross receipts tax instead of a sales tax. It is owed by the seller on receipts from most goods and many services, so a New Mexico consultant with no products still registers and files, where a consultant in most states would not.
  • The Taxation and Revenue Department's account number is the New Mexico Business Tax Identification Number, which replaced the older CRS identification number in 2021. Older forms and bank checklists still ask for a CRS number; the NMBTIN is what they mean.
