How do I fill out the title when I donate a vehicle in New Mexico?
In order to complete your New Mexico car donation, transfer your title by PRINTING and SIGNING your name in the SELLER section on the BACK of the title, and make sure it’s EXACTLY as it appears printed on the front of the title.
What should I expect the day the tow truck comes to pick up my donated vehicle?
The day of your scheduled vehicle pickup, you’ll need to provide the driver with the completed title, along with the keys. After the vehicle sells, you'll receive a vehicle donation receipt for tax purposes.
Can I donate something other than a car or truck?
Yes! If you have a vehicle from 1980 or newer, and it’s registered in Bernalillo County, you’re required to have your vehicle’s emissions inspected every two years. If it doesn’t pass and it’s currently clogging up your driveway because, we’ll help you get rid of it and you’ll put it to good use. A vehicle donation is a great way to move that car along and support your favorite public radio station.
