How to File at Sandoval County Magistrate Court (Bernalillo)
E-filing available
This court accepts electronic filing for small claims cases.
Note: E-filing is available for attorneys through the New Mexico Judiciary's online File & Serve system. Self-represented litigants can use the 'Guide & File' service (https://www.nmcourts.gov/guide-file.aspx) to prepare court documents, which must then be printed and filed in person. Self-represented litigants can also apply for online access to their case records via re:SearchNM (https://researchnm.tylerhost.net) after filing in person. E-filing is voluntary for attorneys during the phased rollout, and paper documents are still accepted for self-represented litigants. Electronic filing and service fees are recoverable costs.
