In DUI cases, the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) represents the second barrel of the shotgun. They determine whether and when you will keep your privilege to drive a motor vehicle.

Under New Mexico law (Section 66-8-111 NMSA 1978), upon receipt of a statement signed under penalty of perjury from a law enforcement officer, the Director of the Motor Vehicle Division of the Taxation and Revenue Department shall revoke your driver's license for a period of:

1. One (1) year, or until all conditions for license reinstatement are met, whichever is later; if you refused to submit to any chemical test after being advised that failure to submit could result in revocation of your privilege to drive.

2. One (1) year, or until all conditions for license reinstatement are met, whichever is later; if you took the chemical test, and the results showed a blood-alcohol concentration above the legal maximum, and you have previously had your license revoked pursuant to the New Mexico Implied Consent Act.

3. Six (6) months, or until all conditions for license reinstatement are met, whichever is later; if you are twenty-one years of age or under, took the chemical test, and the results showed a blood-alcohol concentration above the legal maximum (.02)

4. Ninety (90) days, or until all conditions for license reinstatement are met, whichever is later; if you are twenty-one years of age or older, took the chemical test, and the results showed a blood-alcohol concentration above the legal maximum (.08) but less than twice the maximum (.16). 

NOTE: Your driving privilege may be subject to further revocation or disqualification based on a criminal conviction or convictions.
