Secretary of State Mary Herrera met with Prince Felipe of Spain and his wife, Princess Letizia during their visit celebrating Santa Fe’s 4ooth anniversary. Secretary of State Herrera presented the Prince and Princess with copies of the New Mexico Blue Book which includes historical data from the arrival of the first Spaniards.
The day’s ceremonies included a visit to the New Mexico History Museum, viewing of the exhibit “Tesoros de Devocion,” and a gathering at the Basilica Cathedral de St. Francis of Assisi.
“It was truly an honor to meet and visit with the Prince and Princess,” said Secretary of State Herrera. “New Mexico has enjoyed a lasting relationship with Spain. This is a relationship that will continue for many years to come.”
Governor Bill Richardson Announces Confidential Driver’s License Address Program

Governor Bill Richardson Announces Confidential Driver’s License Address Program Participants in the program may use a substitute address on their New Mexico MVD driver’s licenses, ID cards, or permits. This eliminates the possibility of their abusers to track down their location using public records.
“The Confidential Driver’s License Address Program is another example of New Mexico’s commitment to protecting victims of domestic violence,” said Secretary of State Mary Herrera. "I thank Governor Bill Richardson, First Lady Barbara Richardson, and Mike Sandoval for their hard work in making this program a reality.”
“The Confidential Driver’s License Address Program is yet another tool victims of domestic violence and sexual assault can use to protect themselves from their abusers,” Governor Richardson said. “The objective of this program is to prevent abusers from tracking their victims, to feel safe and secure in their surroundings, and to restore a sense of normalcy in their lives.” Please contact the New Mexico Secretary of State’s Office for more information at (505) 827-3600
