NM checking residency of immigrant license holders

From KOB-TV.com - (AP) - Gov. Susana Martinez's administration plans to verify whether immigrants who received a New Mexico driver's license continue to be residents of the state. Martinez announced Tuesday the Motor Vehicle Division will check a random sample of 10,000 license holders who are foreign nationals to determine their residency. Letters will notify people they have 30 days to schedule an in-person appointment with MVD. Documents to verify residency include utility bills, pay stubs and lease agreements.
