BLM Field Offices will issue "minimum impact" permits for production purposes. Permits may be issued at the Field Office after it has been determined that the filming activity will have a minimum impact on the public land. The permits become effective immediately after being issued by the BLM authorized officer. A reasonable amount of time is needed to process the permit, the rule of thumb being two weeks. For more specific information contact the Film Office (505-476-5600) or click here. * Companies considering shooting on federal property must connect with the proper federal contact immediately, be aware that security clearances for all cast and crew entering the property must be processed with Homeland Security, and expect a lead time of three to four weeks for final approval.

U.S. FOREST SERVICE The U.S. Forest Service manages 9 million acres of forest lands on seven national forests in New Mexico. The forest Service philosophy
is to make location sites on national forests available for commercial photography, motion picture and television locations where such
uses do not seriously impact forest resources or other uses or unreasonably interfere with national forest management. Permits are
granted by the local Forest Ranger District Office. The permit process includes an application, the standard liability insurance
coverage and a summary of the shoot. A two-week review period is requested. Permit fees are determined by a sliding scale depending
on the number of people involved in the shoot and range from $50.00 to $600.00 per day. Forest fire restrictions may apply.

The Park and Recreation Division of the Department of Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources manages 35 State Parks throughout New Mexico. In them, one may see 100-million-year-old duckbill dinosaur tracks, race the ambush route of Pancho Villa's 1916 Columbus raid, and photograph orchids in the midst of the desert. There are large reservoir parks with every imaginable water sport, quiet mountain parks for hiking and camping, and parks with rich history and unusual wildlife. For specific permitting requirements, contact the Park and Recreation Division. All State Parks require a Special Use Permit and at least a two-week notice. The minimum cost for a Special Use Permit is $15.00. The cost progresses depending on the scope and needs of the project. Permits can be issued by the Park Superintendent but may be referred to the state office, again depending on the scope of the project. Specific park numbers are listed below.
