NEW MEXICO’S MOTOR VEHICLES DEPARTMENT SENT OUT RENEWAL NOTICES LAST MONTH WITH COMPLETELY WRONG FEE AMOUNTS. NOW YOU’RE BEING WARNED ABOUT IT. THE MVD SAYS IT WAS CAUSED BY A COMPUTER MISTAKE.
SOME OF THE RENEWAL NOTICES HAVE AN EXTRA ZERO ADDED TO THE FEE AMOUNT, SO 50 DOLLARS BECOMES 500 DOLLARS. IF YOU’VE RECEIVED ONE OF THE NOTICES, TAKE OT THE MVD OFFICE TO GET THE CORRECT AMOUNT. KOB TV REPORTS THAT IF YOU’VE ALREADY PAID THE INCREASED AMOUNT, THE MVD WILL WORK WITH YOU TO CORRECT THAT PROBLEM.
