NM Stat § 55-12-106 (2021)
2021 New Mexico Statutes|Chapter 55 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 12 - Effective Date and Transition Provisions|Section 55-12-106 - Required refilings.

(1) If a security interest is perfected or has priority when this act takes effect as to all persons or as to certain persons without any filing or recording, and if the filing of a financing statement would be required for the perfection or priority of the security interest against those persons under the new U.C.C., the perfection and priority rights of the security interest continue until January 1, 1989. The perfection will then lapse unless a financing statement is filed as provided in Subsection (4) or unless the security interest is perfected otherwise than by filing. (2) If a security interest is perfected when the new U.C.C. takes effect under a law other than the Uniform Commercial Code which requires no further filing, refiling or recording to continue its perfection, perfection continues until and will lapse on January 1, 1989, unless a financing statement is filed as provided in Subsection (4) or unless the security interest is perfected otherwise than by filing, or unless under Subsection (3) of Section 9-302 [55-9-302 NMSA 1978] the other law continues to govern filing, or unless the security interest is perfected under Sections 62-13-8 through 62-13-12.1 NMSA 1978. (3) If a security interest is perfected by a filing, refiling or recording under a law repealed by this act which required further filing, refiling or recording to continue its perfection, perfection continues and will lapse on the date provided by the law so repealed for such further filing, refiling or recording unless a financing statement is filed as provided in Subsection (4) or unless the security interest is perfected otherwise than by filing. (4) A financing statement permitted by Section 12-105 [55-12-105 NMSA 1978] or 12-106 [this section] may be filed before the perfection of a security interest would otherwise lapse. Any such financing statement may be signed by either the debtor or the secured party. It must identify the security agreement, statement or notice (however denominated in any statute or other law repealed or modified by this act), state the office where and the date when the last filing, refiling or recording, if any, was made with respect thereto, and the filing number, if any, or book and page, if any, of recording and further state that the security agreement, statement or notice, however denominated, in another filing office under the U.C.C. or under any statute or other law repealed or modified by this act is still effective. Section 9-401 [55-9-401 NMSA 1978] and Section 9-103 [55-9-103 NMSA 1978] determine the proper place to file such a financing statement. Except as specified in this subsection, the provisions of Section 9-403(3) [55-9-403(3) NMSA 1978] for continuation statements apply to such a financing statement.
