NAME CHANGE: Effective July 1, 2019 our Division, formerly known as The Alcohol & Gaming Division, will now be Alcoholic Beverage Control Division or "ABC".
Alcoholic Beverage Control Division: issues, transfers and revokes liquor licenses as specified in the Liquor Control Act. It administers the Alcohol Server Training Program, educating licensees and servers to prevent sales of alcoholic beverages to minors and intoxicated persons. To find out the status of a pending application or if you have any questions regarding liquor licenses or general licensure questions, please contact our office at (505) 476-4875. Remember to make a copy for your records of Application Packet and all supplemental documents submitted.
The Division approves the issuance of new licenses for Non-Dispenser Type Licenses such as: Craft Distiller, Small Brewer, Winegrower, Wholesaler, Bottler, Manufacturer, Governmental, Clubs, and Restaurant - (aka “Beer and Wine”). ABC also processes Dispenser Type Licenses for the Sale, Lease, and Transfer of all existing liquor licenses both for change in ownership or location. We also issue Public Celebration Permits and Special Dispenser Permits, sometimes called “picnic licenses” for special events.
It’s the primary responsibility of this Division to protect the health, safety and welfare of all New Mexicans and those visiting our State, while regulating sale, service and public consumption of alcohol. ABC takes seriously every complaint alleging potential violations of liquor laws and works closely with the Special Investigations Unit of the Department of Public Safety in investigating and prosecuting such violations.
