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.
To renew your New Mexico journeyman plumbing and mechanical certificate, you just need to do two things:
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:
To count toward the New Mexico plumbing certificate CEU requirement, those sixteen hours need to be broken into two categories:
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.
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.
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.
