Saying 'I do' in New Mexico will now cost twice as much as marriage license fee increases
Formalizing a marriage these days is often not the difficult part; walk in and the paperwork is there waiting for you. But in New Mexico, it's about to become more than twice as expensive. For the first time in decades, the cost of a marriage license in New Mexico will increase, jumping from $25 to $55, effective June 20, following the passage of bipartisan legislation during the 2025 legislative session updating the fee structure. While the price is more than doubling, New Mexico's fee remains lower than in Texas or Arizona, where the cost can exceed $80. Some states charge as much as $115. According to a news release from the Santa Fe County Clerk's Office, the fee change supports long-term recordkeeping, child welfare programs and local services across the state. Santa Fe County is one of New Mexico's most popular wedding destinations. 'Most people only think about their marriage license once — on their wedding day,' Santa Fe County Clerk Katharine Clark said in a statement. 'But it's a legal document that can be needed decades later to access benefits, prove identity or navigate end-of-life paperwork. We want to ensure your record will be securely stored, easy to find, and legally valid when you need it." Senate Bill 290, signed by Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham this year, was sponsored by Sen. Linda Trujillo, D-Santa Fe. It increases marriage license fees and changes how they are distributed. The changes will result in increased funds for counties, according to a Legislative Finance Committee fiscal impact report for the bill. With the updated fee, the fund is expected to gain an estimated $32,500 annually to expand prevention programs and family support services statewide. Beginning June 20, according to the County Clerk's Office, the $55 marriage license fee will be distributed as follows: * $20 to county clerk's offices * $20 to the Children's Trust Fund, which supports community-based programs to prevent child abuse and neglect * $15 to the county general fund The Children's Trust Fund, administered by the Children, Youth and Families Department, previously relied mostly on specialty license plate revenue, the release from the clerk's office said. The higher fees could give pennywise couples an excuse to hold off on the nuptials; however, the Legislative Finance Committee analysis noted even with New Mexico's comparatively low license fees, the state's marriage rate has been skidding for the last decade. "In 2022, New Mexico had the lowest marriage rate in the country at 4.2 per 1,000 people," the report said. "Nevada, Utah, and Colorado were among the highest at 25.9, 9.9, and 7.5 per 1,000, respectively."

Immigration crackdown leaves Albuquerque man in limbo
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – As President Donald Trump cracks down on immigration, a Mexican citizen living in Albuquerque is sharing his story about the uncertainty he's facing trying to remain in New Mexico, where he's lived for decades. Story continues below News: Surveillance video captures crash involving off-duty officer that severely injured man Events: What's happening around New Mexico June 6-12? Albuquerque Pride Parade New Mexico Strange: Holy dirt and healing water: A look at NM's miraculous locations Advocating for an Albuquerque man facing questions about his immigration status, dozens showed up Friday for Antonio Rios. Born in Mexico, Rios has been living and working in the U.S. for more than 20 years. In that time, he had two kids with a U.S. citizen who fell into drug addiction. He was also deported more than once. He said he's kept coming back to support his kids, who are American citizens. 'They were in the street, he saw pictures of them, you know, living in the street, and so he was desperate to get to his children and to protect them,' said Rebecca Kitson, Immigration Attorney for Rebecca Kitson Law. Since 2016, Rios has worked with an immigration attorney trying to get a visa, while staying in contact with immigration and customs. But amid a shift in federal policy, Rios is now worried he'll be deported any day. 'I mean, I think it's a real example of the shift in enforcement policy with this administration. In the past, ICE has had the ability to exercise its discretion in cases where they know the person individually and think that the person is deserving of some additional support,' said Kitson. Rios applied for a special visa indicating he's a trafficking victim, after he said he worked at an unsafe Albuquerque job site. However, that application hasn't been decided on, leaving his family wondering if Rios will be allowed to stay. 'Like surreal, like it doesn't feel real. I've just always been with my dad, it's always been him who takes care of us, so it doesn't feel real that he's most likely about to leave,' said Juliana Chairez, daughter of Antonio Rios. After talking to ICE officials on Friday, Rios is still here, but now on an ankle monitor that ICE is tracking. 'One isn't a criminal, I'm waiting. I've been working 20 years working here. I wish I could get through this and not come out in chains,' said Antonio Chairez Rios, currently waiting to hear from ICE. Rios is expecting that ICE could make a decision on his status in the next few days. His next check-in with immigration and customs is in September. It's unclear when he'll receive a decision on his visa application. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

New Mexico governor goes globetrotting as she nears final year in office
Jun. 5—SANTA FE — With her second term as governor nearing its final stanza, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has been here, there and everywhere. Since the 60-day legislative session ended in March, the governor has spent more time outside New Mexico than she has in the state, with trips to Asia, Maryland, Los Angeles and the Kentucky Derby. Specifically, the governor has spent 40 of the 76 days since the session ended on March 22 fully or partially out of state, according to a Journal analysis of her official calendar and shared records. Just this week, Lujan Grisham led a state delegation to Alaska, where she met with Trump administration officials and attended an energy summit. The Governor's Office says the trips are in the interest of the state by forging possible business partnerships and advocating for federal resources. "The governor's travel is of significant benefit to New Mexico's economic development, efforts to secure federal funding and other policy initiatives," said Lujan Grisham spokeswoman Jodi McGinnis Porter. "Each trip is strategically planned to deliver tangible results for New Mexico families and businesses." She also told the Journal the Governor's Office is in regular contact with Lt. Gov. Howie Morales about the governor's travel schedule to ensure state business is unaffected and agencies are ready to respond in case of emergency. Per the state Constitution, Morales serves as acting governor while Lujan Grisham is out of state. He said in April he was in frequent communication with the Governor's Office when he signed more than 30 executive orders freeing up state funding for recovery efforts connected to damages from flooding and wildfires. With most of New Mexico currently experiencing drought conditions, McGinnis Porter said the governor is staying up to speed on the latest risks even when traveling outside New Mexico. "The governor ... maintains full engagement on wildfire preparedness from any location while staying informed on fire activity throughout the state," she told the Journal. Longtime New Mexico political observer Brian Sanderoff said out-of-state travel by elected officials can sometimes be fodder for criticism by political opponents. But he said Lujan Grisham might feel more freedom to travel with her tenure as governor winding down. "The governor can not seek a third consecutive term, so she's going to feel a lot less constrained politically about travel, both nationally and internationally," said Sanderoff, who is the president of Albuquerque-based Research & Polling Inc. The costs for the governor's busy travel schedule have been paid for by a mix of state and outside groups, depending on the trip. For instance, her Alaska trip was paid for with taxpayer dollars, while her travel to Chicago for last year's Democratic National Convention event was covered by her political action committee, according to the Governor's Office. Meanwhile, Lujan Grisham's trade mission to Japan and Singapore in April — and a similar trip to India last year — were paid for by the New Mexico Partnership, an Albuquerque-based nonprofit group that focuses on business recruitment efforts. Lujan Grisham also traveled out of state extensively last year, including a trip to Mexico. She also crisscrossed the country last fall to stump for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. The governor, who will finish her second term in office at the end of 2026, has increasingly clashed with Democratic lawmakers over crime and public safety issues in recent years. She said at the end of this year's session she planned to call lawmakers back to Santa Fe this year to tackle legislation dealing with juvenile crime and firearm restrictions, but later said no such special session was imminent.
