What is MVD-10019?
The Affidavit of Correction Form (MVD-10019) is the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) affidavit a seller signs to correct an error on a vehicle title or manufacturer's statement/certificate of origin (MSO/MCO) presented for a New Mexico title.
The form identifies the vehicle by its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and by the title number and state of issue, or by the manufacturer name when the document is an MSO/MCO. In the affidavit, the seller swears under penalty of perjury that he or she has examined the vehicle, explains the error, erasure or strikeover on the title document, and states that no fraud was intended. Two fields carry the substance: Description of error and Correction of error.
The signature must be notarized. The form makes one exception: no notary is required if the error was witnessed by an MVD agent, who then signs the form.
The form prints a warning that anyone who makes a false affidavit, or knowingly swears or affirms falsely to a matter required by the Motor Vehicle Code, is guilty of perjury, a fourth degree felony (Sections 66-5-38 and 30-25-1 NMSA 1978). The revision printed on the form is REV. 10/10, and the MVD lists it among its Other Vehicle Title and Registration Forms.
Who needs to file MVD-10019?
The seller or transferor of the vehicle uses this form. The affidavit is made by the seller and must be signed by the seller. When the error is on an MSO/MCO, the seller/transferor is the dealer, so the dealer signs.
Use it when a New Mexico or out-of-state vehicle title, or an MSO/MCO, contains an error, erasure or strikeover and that document is being presented to have a New Mexico title issued.
Points that limit who can complete it:
- A buyer cannot make the affidavit for the seller: the form requires the signature of the person (seller) submitting it.
- The seller's signature must be notarized, unless an MVD agent witnessed the error, in which case no notary is needed.
- The form is written for corrections on title documents presented for a New Mexico title. It does not describe any other use.
When to file MVD-10019
Complete the affidavit when you find an error, erasure or strikeover on a vehicle title or MSO/MCO that is being presented for the issuance of a New Mexico title. The form prints no separate deadline, so it is prepared before or alongside that presentation.
The seller signs and swears the affidavit before a notary public, who completes the "subscribed and sworn" date and commission expiration lines. If the error was witnessed by an MVD agent, no notary is required, and the agent signs in the space at the bottom instead.
Documents you need
- The vehicle title (New Mexico or out-of-state) that contains the error, erasure or strikeover, when it is the document being corrected and presented for a New Mexico title.
- The manufacturer's statement/certificate of origin (MSO/MCO) that contains the error, when it is the document being corrected and presented for a New Mexico title.
- A notary public's acknowledgment on the form itself (signature, date, commission expiration), unless an MVD agent witnessed the error and signs the form instead.

Enter the Vehicle Identification Number
Under Vehicle and Title or MSO/MCO Information, write the vehicle's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) exactly as it appears on the vehicle and the title document.
Enter the title number and state
If the document is a title, enter the Title Number and the Title State of Issue. Leave these for a title only.
Enter the manufacturer name for an MSO/MCO
If the document is a manufacturer's statement/certificate of origin, enter the Manufacturer Name instead of the title details.
Print the seller's name
In the affidavit statement, enter the seller's printed name on the line after "I,". For an MSO/MCO, the seller is the dealer.
Describe the error
Under Description of error, state the error, erasure or strikeover on the title document.
State the correction
Under Correction of error, write the correct information that should appear on the document.
Sign as the seller
The seller signs on the line for the signature of the person (seller) submitting the affidavit. The signature must be notarized.
Complete the notary or MVD agent block
The notary fills in the day, month and year, signs and shows the commission expiration. If an MVD agent witnessed the error, no notary is required and the agent signs instead.

- Signed and notarized: the seller (the dealer, for an MSO/MCO) signs, and the signature is notarized.
- Witnessed by an MVD agent: if an MVD agent witnessed the error, no notary is required and the agent signs the form.

No fee is printed on the form. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the MVD's channels described above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Having someone other than the seller/transferor sign; the form says the affidavit must be signed by the seller, who is the dealer when the error is on an MSO/MCO.
- Submitting the seller's signature without notarization when no MVD agent witnessed the error.
- Leaving the notary block incomplete: the day, month, year, notary signature and commission expiration lines.
- Describing the error but leaving out the correction, or the reverse; the form has separate lines for Description of error and Correction of error.
- Omitting the VIN, or the title number and title state of issue when the document is a title.
- Leaving out the manufacturer name when the corrected document is an MSO/MCO.
- Using the affidavit for a document that is not being presented for issuance of a New Mexico title, which is the only purpose the form states.
- Signing with false information; the form warns that a false affidavit is perjury, a fourth degree felony.
