Field Offices
New Mexico Department of Veterans’ Services – Field Services
There are 13 field offices of the New Mexico Department of Veterans’ Services located throughout the state. Each is staffed by a Veteran Service Officer (VSO) who has attained accreditation through the National Association of County Veteran Service Officers. The VSO assists veterans and their eligible dependents with filing for their federal and state benefits. Most VSOs also have regularly-scheduled outreach visits to the surrounding communities.
Please contact your nearest VSO to schedule an appointment (click on their names for a link to their email address). All service officers are veterans themselves and are dedicated to helping their fellow veterans with filing for the well-deserved benefits earned through their honorable service to our country.
