Notice of Right to Inspect Public Records

由法律规定, under the Inspection of Public Records Act, every person has the right to inspect public records of Doña安娜县. The act also makes compliance with requests to inspect public records an integral part of the routine duties of the officers and employees of Doña安娜县.

The New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act, NMSA 1978, Chapter 14, Article 2, provides that a person desiring to inspect public records may submit a request to the records custodian orally or in writing.
