N.M. Stat. § 66-5-212
Application to nonresidents, unlicensed drivers,
unregistered vehicles and accidents in other states.
A. When a nonresident's operating privilege is suspended under the Mandatory
Financial Responsibility Act and Sections 66-5-301 through 66-5-303 NMSA 1978, the
division may transmit a certified copy of the record of such action to the official in charge
of the issuance of licenses and registration certificates in the state in which the
nonresident resides if the law of the other state provides for action in relation thereto
similar to that provided for in Subsection B of this section.
B. Upon receipt of certification that the driving privilege of a resident of New Mexico
has been suspended or revoked in any other state pursuant to a law providing for its
suspension or revocation for failure to pay settlement agreements or judgments arising
out of a motor vehicle accident or for failure to give and maintain evidence of financial
responsibility under circumstances which would require the division to suspend a
nonresident's operating privilege had the accident occurred in New Mexico, the division
may suspend the license of the resident if he was the driver and all of his registrations if
he was the owner of a motor vehicle involved in the accident. The suspension shall
continue until the resident furnishes evidence of his compliance with the law of the other
state.
