Frequently asked questions
Usually. New Mexico courts treat expired plates and registration as fix-it matters: renew, and our attorneys present the proof, often resolving it with a small fee or outright dismissal and no appearance from you.
A meaningful one. An expired license is a paperwork lapse courts forgive on renewal; never having been licensed is a misdemeanor under NMSA 66-5-2. Both are negotiable, but the second needs real representation.
No — registration, plate, and license-possession charges are non-moving violations. The objective is a clean, cheap resolution that doesn't spiral into a missed court date.
Magistrate courts issue bench warrants for failures to appear, and the MVD can flag your record in ways your home state will honor. A $60 ticket can become a suspended license two states away — let our attorneys close it out instead.
