New Mexico is one of a few states that does not require sole proprietors to register a DBA or assumed business name. You can legally operate under a trade name without filing paperwork. For name protection, consider a federal trademark. If you're an LLC or corporation, you can file a trade name with the NM Secretary of State. Check with your city or county for any local business license requirements.
