What happens if my New Mexico Passport is lost or stolen?

Loss, theft or destruction of the New Mexico Passport is your loss and our gain. Duplicates can be obtained direct from us via , snail mail, web form. You may also be one of the fortunate few who can walk into a real store and buy one from a real person. Check out this list of retailers who purchase directly from me.

Do I need visas?

Well, that depends on on your needs. It makes your passport look more official if you fill in all the blanks, attach a photo (or drawing, or cartoon) and fill up the pages with unusual visas. Make your own. Convince some unwitting New Mexican to stamp something in your passport. Look to this web site for an expanding collection of visas.

Do you have any embassies?

Just roving ambassadors (unpaid volunteers at that). How about a straw palace?

Do you have any travel tips for New Mexico?

Look both ways before crossing a one way street.

What do people do with the New Mexico Passport?

More than we could ever know. It's been used road rallies (pedal powered and motorized), reunions (family, national guard), stamped by the Secretary of State of New Mexico (unofficially) and mailed to Germany, used to get something notarized at a local bank, used to get free admission to museums in Santa Fe (not an official policy, you're on your own with this one), and handed out by UNM to elderhostel participants. You're limited only by your imagination, and ability to look convincing.

How many Santa Feans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

None. They figure if it needed changing it would do it itself.
