New Mexico Inmate Search

Public correctional facilities operate under the New Mexico Department of Corrections. Anyone interested in finding their detained persons can use the alternative options offered by the NMCD. You can contact the central office through calls, emails or visit the Santa Fe office. 

Inmate Search 

The offender search engine is another great way to trace inmate locations. It aims at safeguarding the public from state criminals by detaining them before and after trials, where applicable. Hence, it is the best official search method for accuracy and promptness, as shown below. 

Step 1 

Google the official New Mexico State Offender Locator site. 

Step 2 

Once on the site, scroll down to the search section. Fill in the necessary inmate data in the blank fields as follows: 

• Offender’s first and last name 
• Offender number 
• NMCD number 

Step 3 

Confirm you are not a robot and either click the ‘Search’ or ‘Clear All’ fields to process the inmate results.   

Advanced inmate details available after the primary search results include: 

• Age 
• Gender 
• The offense charged and the date 
• Court 
• Inmate physical description 
• Release date 
• Full names 
• Facility holding the inmate 
• Parole details, if any. 

Also, site guests inquiring about specific offenders or inmates can drop a mail to the department using the following address:

The NMDC runs six adult state facilities and contracts five privately owned detention centers. Visiting a specific prison facility is another fantastic method to conduct an inmate search. Alternatively, those who cannot access internet services can contact the primary administration office by calling 505-827-8645 or by fax at 505-827-8533.  

In addition, the public or family members can email the department for assistance with general inquiries.
