Obtaining a New Mexico ECF Account: Attorney Account or Limited Use Filer Account. You will need a New Mexico Bankruptcy Court ECF account to electronically file documents.

An attorney account allows electronic filing of any document other than those which are excepted from the electronic filing requirement (See Exceptions from Electronic Filing Requirement).

To obtain an attorney account, you must be admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico and be in good standing or, if not admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico, be admitted to practice and in good standing in the bar of any other state. You must also meet the Clerk's training requirements outlined in section 3.

A limited use filer account allows electronic filing of proofs of claim, requests for notice, transfers of claims, etc., and is intended to meet the needs of out-of-jurisdiction attorneys who do not either wish to or need to be admitted to practice, institutional creditors, and other persons who chiefly file proofs of claim. Check the court’s Web site for current training offerings.
