Santa Fe, New Mexico document errands: printing, fax, notary, passports and certified copies (2026)

Where to print, fax, notarize, apply for a passport and get certified copies in Santa Fe, New Mexico, using only official and provider pages. Each fact links to its source. Some facts are statewide or national rather than local. We label those.

See printing prices and fax prices.

Notary in Santa Fe

• County Clerk (limited): the Santa Fe County Clerk's Office offers complimentary notary service for documents and filings required for County Clerk business or submitted to the County Clerk. It doesn't provide notary blocks, and it points people to banks and parcel service centers for other notarizations ^[9][10]. Its recording page says staff will notarize your signature on a lien document at no charge if you bring proper ID ^[9].
• Library: we didn't find notary service on the Santa Fe Public Library's service pages ^[1][2][3].
• The UPS Store: the 223 N Guadalupe St store lists notary service ^[17]. We didn't find its notary price.
• Fees (statewide): the New Mexico Secretary of State's Notarial Officer Handbook (revised July 2023) says a notary "may charge up to" $5.00 per acknowledgment, $5.00 per person for an oath or affirmation without a signature, and $5.00 per jurat. Copy certifications are $.50 a page with a $5.00 minimum. A travel fee is allowed only if you agree to it in advance and are told it's separate and not required by law. Electronic notarizations may add a technology fee of no more than $25 per act. An employer can't set higher fees ^[13]. Nebraska's acknowledgment cap is also $5; Utah's is $10 per signature, Wyoming's $10 per notarial act and Colorado's $15 per document, and Kansas has no dollar cap.
• Spouses (statewide): a New Mexico notary may not notarize a record in which the notary or the notary's spouse or domestic partner is a party or has a direct beneficial interest ^[13]. We didn't find a broader rule on other relatives on the pages we checked.
• ID and journal (statewide): a notary may not act without identifying you as required by 14-14A-6 NMSA 1978, and must keep a journal that records the fee charged ^[13]. New Mexico's Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts has applied since January 1, 2022 ^[14].
• Banks (national policy): Bank of America says notary service is available "at no cost to our customers" and "in many of our financial centers." Schedule an appointment. All signers must be present ^[15]. We didn't check which Santa Fe branches offer it. For other banks, see free notary options.

Passports in Santa Fe

The U.S. Department of State's Passport Acceptance Facility Locator data lists one Santa Fe facility ^[5]:

• Appointments: the locator entry for this office has no note or scheduling link. We didn't find whether it takes walk-ins, so call first ^[5].
• Photos: the locator doesn't list photos at this office ^[5]. The UPS Store at 223 N Guadalupe St lists passport photos ^[17].
• Post office fees (national): a $35.00 acceptance fee and a $15.00 photo fee "if needed" ^[6].
• County office: we didn't find a Santa Fe County passport office in the locator data ^[5].

Birth, death, marriage, court and recorded-document copies

Birth and death certificates: NMDOH Vital Records

• Not the county: the Santa Fe County Clerk's Office says it can't give you a copy of a birth certificate or an official death certificate and refers you to the state ^[10]. The county's FAQ gives the Vital Records address as 1900 S. Saint Francis Drive; NMDOH's own pages list 2554 Camino Entrada, so use NMDOH's address ^[10][12].
• In person in Santa Fe: the Bureau of Vital Records & Health Statistics, 2554 Camino Entrada, Santa Fe, NM 87505, is open Mon–Fri 8:30 a.m.–4 p.m.; call 505-827-0121. NMDOH lists it for birth certificates, and death certificates must be ordered through this Santa Fe office ^[12].
• Fees (statewide): the non-refundable search fee is $10 per certified birth certificate and $5 per certified death certificate, if the record is on file ^[12].
• Who can order (statewide): New Mexico birth and death certificates are restricted. Access is limited to the registrant, immediate family (mother, father, sibling, child, grandchild, current spouse or grandparent) or someone with proof of a legal interest ^[12].
• By mail: send the form or letter with a certified check or money order payable to "New Mexico Vital Records" in the exact amount to Post Office Box 26110, Santa Fe, NM 87502. Don't send cash ^[12].
• Online or by phone (VitalChek): NMDOH doesn't take credit cards or online orders itself, but you can order through VitalChek, online or at 877-284-0963. With 3–5 business day processing, regular mail delivery costs $26.00 for a birth certificate or $21.00 for a death certificate, and UPS Next Day Air costs $44.50 or $39.50 ^[12].

Marriage licenses: Santa Fe County Clerk

• Fee and ID: $55.00, due when the license is issued; cash, card or check. Both applicants must be present at the same time. Applicants 18 and over need a valid government-issued photo ID with name and date of birth, or a valid passport ^[8].
• Appointment: call (505) 986-6280 to be transferred to staff who can schedule you ^[8]. The clerk's office says walk-ins are welcome for in-person business, but recommends an appointment ^[7].
• Rules: no blood test and no waiting period. You don't have to live in Santa Fe County. The license doesn't expire, but it must be returned, in person or by mail, within 90 days of the ceremony to be recorded. Two witnesses over 18 must be at the ceremony ^[8].
• Copies: certified copies are $5.00 each, and anyone can request one of the records on file, in person or by mail with a check. The office certifies the marriage application, not the license itself ^[8].

Recorded documents: Santa Fe County Clerk

• Where and when: 240 Grant Ave (New Building), Santa Fe, NM 87501. Mon–Fri 8 a.m.–5 p.m., (505) 986-6280, clerk@santafecountynm.gov ^[8].
• Recording fees: $25.00 per document for 1 to 10 index entries, plus $25.00 for each additional block of 10 (fee schedule updated July 10, 2025) ^[11].
• Copy fees: copies are $1.00 per page or image. Certification is $4.00 for the first page and $1.00 for each page after, except marriage licenses and UCCs. An uncertified record search by the clerk is $40.00 for the first 15 minutes and $40.00 per hour after ^[11].
• Paying: cash, check, money order or credit card, with a 2.65% processing fee for cards ^[9].
• Getting copies: email instrument numbers for faster service (48-hour turnaround), use the public research computers at the office, or search, pay and receive documents by email through the online portal ^[10].

Court records: First Judicial District Court

The County Clerk says divorce records are held by the First Judicial District Court, 225 Montezuma Ave, (505) 455-8250 ^[10].

• How: to get copies of documents from court case files or audio recordings of hearings, email the court at sfedrequests@nmcourts.gov ^[20].
• Where and when: Santa Fe County District Courthouse, 225 Montezuma Ave., Santa Fe, NM 87501; mail to P.O. Box 2268, Santa Fe, NM 87504. Mon–Fri 8 a.m.–4 p.m., open during the lunch hour. Phone 505-455-8250 ^[20].
• Fees: the court's site doesn't publish copy or certification prices on the pages we read ^[20].

State ID cards: New Mexico MVD (statewide)

You must go to an MVD Field Office for a New Mexico ID card. You get a temporary ID while the card is processed and mailed ^[16]. MVD's base fee list shows $10 for a four-year ID and $18 for an eight-year ID, and says municipal offices may charge an additional fee that varies by location ^[16].

USPS money order fees are national: $2.65 for $0.01 to $500.00, and $3.75 for $500.01 to $1,000.00. Pay with cash or a debit card, not a credit card. The limit is $1,000 per domestic money order ^[18]. Other sellers: money order guide.

Shredding

• The UPS Store: the 223 N Guadalupe St store lists shredding ^[17]. We didn't find its price.
• Free events: we didn't find a City of Santa Fe or Santa Fe County document-shredding event on the official pages we checked.
