**Bellow are the steps to follow to transfer the ownership of a used boat in New Mexico:**

1. Obtain a signed title from the seller: The seller must provide you with a **signed title that proves they are the legal owner of the boat.**
2. Complete a Bill of Sale: The seller must also provide you with a Bill of Sale, which **includes the boat's description, sale price, and the names and addresses of the buyer and seller.**
3. Complete a New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Form: The buyer must complete a New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Form **[New Mexico Boat Registration and Change of Ownership Application.](https://www.mvd.newmexico.gov/vehicles/boats-and-atvs/)**
4. Obtain a notarized signature: The seller's signature on the title and bill of sale must be notarized.
5. Pay the necessary fees: You must pay the title transfer fee, and any other applicable fees.
6. Submit the documents: You can submit the signed title, Bill of Sale, New Mexico Boat Registration and Change of Ownership Application Form, and payment to the **New Mexico Department of Game and Fish by mail or in person at a Department of Game and Fish office**.

**Once the Department of Game and Fish receives your documents and payment, they will process your application and issue you a new title. It is important to complete the transfer of ownership promptly to ensure that you are legally recognized as the new owner of the boat.**
