DWI Website Updates: OOS Reinstatement

To provide an out-of-state process for a licensed driver in New Mexico that has a DWI revoked license or another type of hold who has moved to another state.

To reinstate your record as an out-of-state resident, your driving record must have reached its end date, meaning the revocation period for your DWI is over. You will need to provide two residency documents that show your current address in your new state. A list of acceptable residency documents for Real ID and Standard ID can be found on the MVDOnline.com website. We have listed a sample below.

Note: Out-of-state residency documents must match your current legal name and list your physical residential address. HC and P.O. boxes will not be accepted. Printed paperless bill statements are acceptable.

Here’s a list of documents you can use to prove your residency.

  • Documents Must be no older than 60 Days
