Start your LLCOfficial New Mexico Secretary of State business search database. Access the NM SOS business entity database to verify corporations, LLCs, partnerships, and other business registrations in New Mexico. Free government database with real-time information.
The New Mexico Secretary of State business search is the official government database that contains information about all business entities registered in New Mexico. This includes corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), partnerships, and other business structures operating in NM.
When you search "secretary of state nm business search," you're looking for this official database to verify business registrations, check entity status, and conduct due diligence on New Mexico businesses.
Public business entity search and UCC lien search both run on the Secretary of State Enterprise site (enterprise.sos.nm.gov) under separate paths. Use Business Search for corporations, LLCs, and charter questions; use UCC Search for financing statements and related lien index checks. The same host does not mean the indexes are interchangeable.
New Mexico business entities & Secretary of State workflows
Open Business Search and use the fields the form provides for name, ID, or other filters. Review entity status, registered agent, and filing history on the detail view. Read Secretary of State disclaimers before you rely on search output for legal or lending decisions.
Formations, annual reports, and amendments use the Secretary of State online filing paths linked from sos.nm.gov and the Enterprise portal when the workflow directs you there. Follow the published fee schedule and any login requirements before you pay.
Financing statements & lien search
Use UCC Search for debtor and file-number style searches the index supports. Match legal names to how parties filed. Confirm on the live site whether you need a certified search or copies and follow the division fee process.

Form a business
Entity search on this page helps you verify names and good standing. When you are ready to form a new LLC, corporation, or nonprofit, use the same next steps we link from Business Lookup: confirm the name on the official register, choose a structure with your CPA or attorney if needed, then file through the state agency (and plan for publication, registered agent, and any industry licenses that apply).
These amounts can change when agencies update their fee schedules. Double-check the current fee list, forms, and deadlines on the official New Mexico business filing site yourself before you pay or submit anything.
