Required Auto Insurance & Minimum Limits in New Mexico

New Mexico requires motor-vehicle liability insurance meeting the state’s minimum financial-responsibility limits. Current minimum limits are $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident, and $10,000 property damage.

  • Confirm the actual policy, insured vehicle and liability limits.
  • Distinguish statutory minimums from all potentially available insurance.
  • Investigate owner, employer, commercial, umbrella and excess coverage.
  • Review current New Mexico Mandatory Financial Responsibility Act provisions before publication.
