Dona Ana County issued the following announcement on Nov. 18.
In response to New Mexico Governor Lujan Grisham’s recent order announcing statewide restrictions due to a spike in COVID-19 cases, the Doña Ana County Clerk’s Office, along with the Treasurer’s and Assessor’s Office, will be limiting in-person services.
Additional information regarding each office follows:
Doña Ana County Clerk’s Office:
“Beginning Thursday, November 19 and until further notice, we encourage people and businesses to use our online and phone services,” Amanda López Askin, Doña Ana County Clerk stated. “The safety of the public and our employees is important to us. We are taking every necessary measure to continue protecting the health of our community and provide necessary services.”
The Clerk’s Office asks that businesses with access to our online e-recording and filing portal use that service. Individuals who do not have access to the online portal who are needing to record documents may do so via mail or through one of the vendors with access.
Business registrations may be completed via mail, and the office encourages those seeking to apply for a marriage license to postpone their application until further notice. Appointments for marriage licenses will only be accepted on a case by case basis and are limited to Doña Ana County residents only.
Our Documents Online tool allows the public to research and request some documents from home: (https://www.donaanacounty.org/clerk/docs).
