You can obtain a certified copy of the custody order from the court that issued it in New Mexico. Contact the court clerk's office for assistance.

The CYFD (Children, Youth and Families Department) of Las Cruces, NM is a separate entity from the court. It's a state agency that handles child welfare matters.
From the cyfd is where the document was received. Would they be able to provide me with a certified order that the superior court of ca will honor and recognize as official?
The CYFD can provide official documents, but it's best to confirm with the Superior Court of California if they'll accept it. Contact them at (*) *-*.
