Filing an Accident Report in New Mexico

If police did not respond to your accident, or if you need to file a supplemental report with the DMV, you can submit your accident report online or by mail.

When Do You Need to File?

In New Mexico, you must file an accident report if:

  • There was injury or death
  • Property damage exceeded the state minimum threshold
  • A vehicle needed to be towed from the scene
  • Police did not respond to the accident

What Information You'll Need

Before starting your report, gather the following:

  • Date, time, and exact location of the accident
  • Your driver's license and vehicle registration
  • Insurance policy information
  • Other driver(s) information and insurance details
  • Photos of damage and the accident scene
  • Witness names and contact information (if any)

File Your Report Online

New Mexico provides an official portal for filing accident reports:

What Happens After You File?

Once submitted, your report becomes part of the official record. Your insurance company may request a copy, and it may be used in any legal proceedings related to the accident.

Important: Filing a report does not determine fault. It simply documents that an accident occurred. Be factual and accurate—do not admit fault or speculate about causes.

Already Have a Police Report?

If a police officer filed a report at the scene, you can request a copy through our New Mexico Police Report page.
