Data Sources
New Mexico uses a single integration against the New Mexico Secretary of State SOS Enterprise (SOSE) portal atenterprise.sos.nm.gov/search/business. This is the official canonical source for all New Mexico business filings since the Secretary of State’s 2024 migration to the SOSE platform.
- New Mexico Secretary of State (SOSE) (live, authoritative). The public SOSE portal publishes legal name, Business ID, entity type and sub-type, status, initial filing date, formation jurisdiction, registered agent (name and address), directors and officers with titles, and alternate business names. Data is current as filings are accepted by the Secretary of State.
New Mexico does not publish a free bulk export of registered businesses. There is no non-authoritative (fast) mode: every request is served live from SOSE. This differs from states like Iowa or Pennsylvania that offer a weekly open-data snapshot for faster onboarding requests.

Quirks & Gotchas
| Quirk | Details |
|---|---|
| Leading zeros are load-bearing | Business IDs are 7 to 10 digits with leading zeros preserved on modern entities. Never strip them: 0008016169 and 8016169 are treated as different inputs; the short form is rejected with an invalid-input error. |
| No open-data bulk feed | New Mexico does not publish a Socrata or equivalent bulk export of registered businesses. Every search and profile request is resolved live from SOSE. There is no fast onboarding mode. |
| Directors and officers are free-text strings | The SOSE drawer publishes directors and officers as multi-line text blocks, one Name: Role entry per line. Titles are free-form (e.g. Director, Manager, President, Organizer, Statutory Agent). Director and officer entries are flattened into a single legalRepresentatives array. |
Registered agent in otherKeyPersons | The registered agent is returned separately under otherKeyPersons (role: RegisteredAgent), not in legalRepresentatives. The agent name and address are parsed from the SOSE drawer. |
| No shareholder or UBO register | New Mexico does not collect shareholder rosters or beneficial-ownership information at the state level. The federal beneficial-ownership database is restricted. |
| NAICS not surfaced | New Mexico collects NAICS codes at filing time but does not publish them on the public business detail page. Activity codes cannot be returned. |
| No alternate-name disambiguation | SOSE may return Other Names and Alternate Business Names for an entity. These are surfaced in the API response but are not separately searchable. |
| Paid Certificate of Good Standing | A Certificate of Good Standing (equivalent to a Certificate of Existence or Certificate of Status) can be ordered through the SOSE portal. The statutory fee varies by entity type. This document is planned as a paid upgrade and is not yet available through Topograph. |
| Free Trade Register Extract included | A printed PDF of the SOSE business detail drawer is included at no extra charge with every company data request. This is the tradeRegisterExtract document. |
Mappings
Legal Forms
Legal form is sourced from the Entity Type field on the SOSE business detail drawer. The taxonomy was enumerated from the live SOSE search form’s Entity Type filter (~40 distinct values). Domestic types are entities formed under New Mexico law; Foreign types are entities formed elsewhere and registered to do business in New Mexico. The full list with ISO 20275 ELF codes is on the pricing page. A summary of the main categories is below.Main New Mexico entity categories
