New Mexico Statutes Chapter 61. Professional and Occupational Licenses § 61-12A-15. License renewal

A. Each renewal request shall contain the person's name, address and license number. After receipt of information and fees as prescribed by this section, the board shall issue a license certificate.

B. Licenses issued pursuant to the Occupational Therapy Act are subject to annual renewal upon submission of a renewal form provided by the board, payment of the annual renewal fee and the required proof of continuing education units or proof of competency as prescribed by the board. A license not renewed on the annual renewal date is expired.

C. If a person's license has been expired for five years or less, the person may renew the license upon submission of a renewal form provided by the board, the payment of the annual renewal fee, a late fee and the required proof of continuing education units for the period the license has been expired or proof of competency as prescribed by the board. If a person's license has been expired for more than five years, the person may not renew the license. The person may obtain a new license by compliance with the requirements and procedures for obtaining an original license and any additional proof of competency requested by the board.

D. If a person's license has been suspended, it shall not be renewed until it has been reinstated by the board. If a person's license has been suspended it is still subject to annual renewal. The person may renew the license as provided in this section, but renewal does not entitle the licensee, while the license is suspended, to engage in the licensed activity or in any other conduct or activity in violation of the order or judgment by which the license was suspended.

E. If a person's license has been revoked on disciplinary grounds, and has been reinstated by the board, the licensee shall pay the annual renewal fee and any applicable late fee as a condition of reinstatement.
