How to File at Union County Magistrate Court

E-filing available

This court accepts electronic filing for small claims cases.

Note: E-filing is available for attorneys in Magistrate Courts for civil cases through the New Mexico eFile & Serve system. It is voluntary for attorneys during the phased-in statewide rollout. Non-attorneys have been allowed to email documents to magistrate courts during the COVID-19 pandemic, but this is not the same as e-filing.

File in person

Bring your completed forms to the courthouse during business hours.

File by mail

Most small claims courts accept filing by mail — check with this court first. Typically you mail your completed forms with the filing fee plus a self-addressed stamped envelope for your returned copies.
