CE Requirements to Renew a NM Plumbers License

Figuring out how to renew your New Mexico plumbing certificate isn’t necessarily easy. Your license gets issued by the New Mexico Regulation & Licensing Department (RLD), and here you’ll find everything you need to know to renew a New Mexico plumbing certificate, including the continuing education unit (CEU) requirement.

 

How to renew

To renew your New Mexico journeyman plumbing and mechanical certificate, you just need to do two things:

 

Take continuing education units (CEUs)

The state requires you to take sixteen hours of continuing education during each three-year renewal period. This applies if you have any of the following journeyman designations:

  • Journeyman plumber (JP)
  • Journeyman pipefitter (JPF)
  • Journeyman gas (JG)
  • Journeyman plumber-gas (JPG)
  • Journeyman sheetmetal (JSM)
  • Journeyman sprinkler (JS)
  • Journeyman refrigeration (JR)
  • Journeyman fire protection (MS-12J, or MS 14J)

To count toward the New Mexico plumbing certificate CEU requirement, those sixteen hours need to be broken into two categories:

  • Eight hours on code changes and updates
  • Eight hours on other plumbing-related topics

You don’t need to sign up for a seminar or go to a classroom to get these hours. And you don’t need to take time off work, either. You can take your New Mexico plumber CEUs online at your own pace. 

Once you get your 16 CEUs done, you’re ready to send in your renewal application. 

 

Submit your renewal online

You can renew your license online using the MyLicense portal. 

If you’ve never set up your user ID and password, you can do so online. You’ll need your license number and your registration code. That code should be printed on the renewal notice you get from the state.

When you get logged into the MyLicense system, you’ll need to pay a renewal fee as part of the renewal process. Have a payment method handy and getting your renewal submitted should be easy.

State Of New Mexico Plumbing License Renewal Deadlines

  • Your journeyman plumbing license expires every three years.
  • To keep it active, you need to renew it before the last day of the month you got it. So, if you got your license in September, you need to renew it by September 30 every three years. Or if you got it in March, you need to renew by March 31 every three years.

You should get a renewal notice in the mail, but that all depends on the state having the correct address for you. It’s your responsibility to renew on time, whether or not you get a notice.
