Hi All,
I am currently a NM resident but am likely relocating for work later this year. Possibly before the draw deadline even
The way I'm reading the residency requirements though I'm seeing that I should be okay to apply as a resident provided I apply before I move as I have resided here full time for more than the past 90 days (currently have NM drivers license, truck tags, etc).
Just want to make sure as I'd hate to run into trouble if I am stopped in the field later this year and have a resident license/tag but an out of state ID. I really want to apply as a resident as long as it's legit though as I'm not moving to a state with any good big game hunting even!

*To qualify for New Mexico resident license(s), an individual must meet one of the following criteria:
A United States citizen who has resided in N.M. for a period of not less than 90 days immediately preceding the date of application (or purchase) for the license, has been domiciled in N.M., and has not claimed residency elsewhere for any purpose. Temporary or seasonal residents and home owners, who maintain a primary residence outside of N.M., do not qualify for resident licenses.
