Frequently Asked Questions on Vehicle Management

All new vehicle purchases go through PPD Automotive and Property Accounting works closely with them to obtain the documents needed to register the vehicles. Once the vehicle is registered and the license plates are received by Inventory Control, PPD Automotive will be coordinating with your department to install the plate on the vehicle.

If your department purchases a new trailer, bring the original Certificate of Origin and the invoice and we will facilitate the registration. Once the vehicle is registered and the license plates are received by Inventory Control, Inventory Control will be coordinating with your department to pick up the plates.

Email Property Accounting at UNMInventory@unm.edu with the Vehicle number, VIN and license plate number and we will request a new one from the MVD. Once the license plates are received by Property Accounting, Property Accounting will be coordinating with your department to pick up the plates.

Email Property Accounting at UNMInventory@unm.edu with the Vehicle Number and VIN at least 24 hours in advance and we will send you a scanned copy.
