Official Records Contacts

This is a private reference service, not a public office. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or obtain an official booking file. Direct time-sensitive and record-specific questions to the office that holds the record.


Where to Direct a Question

For a local law-enforcement or public-record question, start with the Mora County Sheriff's Office. Adult Mora arrestees commonly enter the San Miguel County Detention Center custody path, while the County Clerk's record custodian handles the local request process. Contact details should be confirmed before travel because agencies can update their directories.

Mora County Clerk / record custodian: Santana Gonzales, Deputy Clerk / Record Custodian, (575) 387-2448 ext. 1028. The County Clerk links the public-record request form. The form identifies normal business hours as 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

San Miguel County Detention Center

Las Vegas, NM 87701

Office hours: Weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., closed noon to 1:00 p.m.

Use the official San Miguel detention page for its current lookup notice. For a Mora court docket, use New Mexico Case Lookup or contact Mora Magistrate Court at 1 Courthouse Drive, Mora, NM 87732, (575) 387-2937. The NMCD Offender Search is the appropriate statewide source for people in state custody or under probation or parole, not a current county-booking screen.

  • Use the Mora County lookup path for a booking record, an official request, or the detention-center fallback chain.
  • Use the sheriff or court clerk for a current warrant-status question. A docket entry is not warrant certification.
  • Use the detention center for a time-sensitive adult custody question while the online lookup is unavailable.
  • Use NMCD for the state-custody or supervision category, and the federal locator links on the home page only for federal or immigration custody.
