Curry County Clerk Office

The official county page identifies Annie Hogland as Curry County Clerk. The office is at 417 Gidding St., Suite 130, Clovis, NM 88101, with phone 575-763-5591 and fax 575-763-4232. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the office is open through lunch.

The County Clerk page describes a mission of informative, efficient, courteous service, accessible public records, and election-process integrity. It also states that recorded documents are permanent public records and subject to inspection and disclosure under NMSA 1978 Section 14-8-9.1. The office will not conduct searches or provide legal advice, so requesters should identify the document, parties, dates, recording details, or other locators as clearly as possible.

Curry County Clerk Duties

The County Clerk is the correct office for recorded public documents and marriage licenses. The clerk also administers elections and voter registration for Curry County, serves as ex-officio clerk to the Curry County Board of Commissioners, serves as ex-officio clerk to the County Probate Judge, and maintains county commission meeting minutes. These duties place county-record access outside the District Court Clerk's case-file role.

• Recording, filing, and preserving deeds, mortgages, agreements, and similar public documents.
• Issuing marriage licenses, fireworks licenses, kennel licenses, and cannabis licenses.
• Administering elections and voter registration for Curry County.
• Serving as ex-officio clerk to the County Probate Judge.
• Serving as ex-officio clerk to the Curry County Board of Commissioners.
• Maintaining county commission minutes and county clerk public-record resources.

Curry County Clerk vs Court Clerk

Many record requests fail because the requested record is sent to the wrong clerk. The elected County Clerk does not hold District Court criminal files, divorce decrees, or Magistrate Court traffic cases. The District Court Clerk does not issue marriage licenses or record deeds. Curry County's split clerk structure should be checked before submitting a copy request, especially when a probate or marriage issue has both county and court aspects.

Search Curry County Clerk Records

The official County Clerk page links the Curry County Clerk online records lookup for recorded county clerk documents. The research notes that the portal did not expose its field inventory through text extraction, so exact search fields should be checked in the live portal. When the lookup does not locate a record, the County Clerk counter and phone number are the local fallback channels.

1. Identify the record type, such as deed, mortgage, marriage license, agreement, commission minute, or county probate-related document.
2. Search the County Clerk online records lookup if the record is a recorded county clerk document.
3. If the online lookup is unclear, call 575-763-5591 or visit the Clerk during public hours.
4. Give the office enough detail to locate the document, including names, dates, recording data, or document type when known.
5. Ask for the current copy or certification cost before ordering because the County Clerk fee table was not captured in the research.

Curry County IPRA Request Details

Curry County public-record requests may be oral or written, but the county research states that statutory procedures and penalties apply only to written requests. Written requests must contain the requester's name, address, telephone number, and a description of the records sought. The description must be detailed enough for the custodian to identify and locate the records. Original county records may not be removed from county offices.

Curry County Clerk Fees

The County Clerk page links Clerk's Fees Information, but the research did not capture a text-extractable fee schedule for recording or certified county clerk copies. The county IPRA page says requesters agree to pay associated fees and may be asked to pay copy fees in advance. The captured marriage-license notice is specific: the Curry County marriage-license fee increased from $25 to $55 effective June 20, 2025.

Note: Confirm current County Clerk recording and certified-copy fees directly with the office before submitting payment.
