The New Mexico Secretary of State Corporations And Business Services makes its database of registered New Mexico business names available to the public. Therefore, anyone wishing to determine if a particular business name has been registered in this state can use this tool. Additionally, the business entity search tool the Corporations And Business Services division maintains makes it possible to obtain the public details of a New Mexico entity.
