Form Asd - 22238 - Application For Resident Business Certification (Page 3 of 4) in pdf

APPLICATION FOR RESIDENT BUSINESS CERTIFICATE

INSTRUCTIONS

Beginning January 1, 2012, New Mexico businesses who wish to obtain a resident business preference must

first apply for and obtain a resident business certificate issued by the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue De-

partment (TRD). The preference may be used by the holder to obtain a bidding advantage when participating

in a formal bid process or formal request for proposal process for the sale of goods or services to a New Mexico

state or local public body. The business must submit with its bid or proposal a copy of a valid resident business

certificate.

So long as the business initially meets and continues to meet the necessary requirements, the certificate is valid

for three years from the date of issuance. The business must submit a new application if the business’s status

has changed or if there is a change in ownership of more than fifty percent.

The purchasing agent for a public body may verify that a resident business certificate is issued by TRD by ac-

cessing the TRD web site at https://secure.mvd.newmexico.gov/residentcertificate/default.aspx, or by calling

(505) 827-0951.

RESIDENT BUSINESS CERTIFICATE APPLICATION

TRD has prescribed form ASD-22238 that must be completed in order to obtain a resident business certificate.

The required contents of the form are summarized below.

General Information

SECTION I

This section requires provision of the applicant’s general business information, including basic contact infor-

mation. The contact information provided must be that of the business owner or the business’s authorized

representative.

Resident Business Status Information

SECTION II

To complete the application, the CPA must select the business status category that applies to the business: ex-

isting business, new business, relocated business, or previously certified business or business previously eligible

for certification. The CPA must select only the business status category that pertains to the applicant and indi-

cate which statements included in the applicable category accurately describe the business. If any statement is

not appropriate to or does not otherwise describe the applicant’s business, it may not qualify for certification.

NOTE: When a business is a relocated business, the application must indicate whether at least 80% of the

total personnel of the business in the prior year were New Mexico residents. For the purposes of this applica-

tion, a New Mexico “resident” is considered to be a person who is domiciled in this state during any part of the

calendar year or a person who is physically present in this state for at least 185 days during the calendar year.

Affidavit

SECTION III

This portion of the form is a sworn statement by the CPA indicating that the statements selected in Section II

are accurate descriptions of the business, and that all other information provided in the form is true and correct

sional opinion that the business meets the required criteria for resident business certification.

The owner of the business, officer of the business or the business’ authorized representative must also sign the

application, affirming that the statements made and information provided in the application are true and cor-

rect.
