Dear Mr./Ms. Public:

The public safety of New Mexico requires that State authorities identify and cancel the drivers licenses

is notice that the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD) will take steps to cancel your license or identification

card if you fail to comply with the appointment process within thirty (30) days of the date listed on this

new license may be made at any time after cancellation. NMSA 1978, 66-1-4.3.

will be able to efficiently confirm your identity and residency status. Our intention is to make your visit as

quick and easy as possible.
