Car-insurance requirements in New Mexico (2026)
New Mexico requires liability cover, but the figures reached during this build came from the motor-vehicle division rather than the legislature’s own statute text, so they are held back under the two-source rule.
Not yet verified against the primary statute
Our record of New Mexico’s minimum limits rests on a secondary reproduction rather than the legislature’s own statute text. Under this site’s two-source rule a figure ships only once the primary text confirms it, so no limits are shown here. The provision to read is NMSA 1978 §66-5-208. Check the statute or your state insurance department before relying on any figure published elsewhere.
