New Mexico's business entity database provides instant access to all registered business information through the Secretary of State's online portal. This free search system delivers the essential data points needed for onboarding, compliance verification, and business transactions: entity name, type, number, and formation date.
We'll show you how to navigate New Mexico's business search portal, locate each piece of required information, and identify the specific formats New Mexico uses for entity data.
Navigate to New Mexico's Business Search portal and select your search type from the dropdown menu. The system defaults to "Entity Name/DBA Name," which handles most searches efficiently. Enter your business name in the search field, exactly as registered, for accurate results.
New Mexico's advanced search provides multiple filtering options, including text matching (Contains, Starts With, or Name Availability), entity type selection, status filters, and registration date ranges. The "Name Availability" option proves particularly valuable when forming new entities, as it identifies whether your desired name conflicts with existing registrations.
Click your entity name in the results table to access complete details, including entity number, formation date, registered agent information, and filing history.
Results display in sortable columns showing Name, Business ID, Entity Type, Status, and Formation details.
Your New Mexico entity number (officially called your Business ID or Record Number) serves as your unique identifier in the state's business filing system and was assigned by the New Mexico Secretary of State when your entity was formed.
