Information for Contractors

Construction contractors, including mechanical contractors performing HVAC jobs, must be licensed in New Mexico. Licenses are issued by the Regulations and Licensing Department. Corporations must be qualified to do business in New Mexico, or be incorporated in the state. Any out-of-state corporation must have a registered agent and office in New Mexico for at least 90 days before it can get a license. Individuals or partnerships must have a residence or street address in New Mexico for at least 90 days before applying for a license. Applicants must also maintain a current New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department tax identification number and, if appropriate, workers' compensation insurance.

Exams are given by a company called Experior. Applicants must also be 18 years of age and have completed four years of experience in the last 10 years. A $30 non-refundable fee is required if you wish to apply for the initial contractor's license. The license itself will cost $150 for each trade, except for the trades which have multi-part exams. Licenses for these trades are $300 each. Licenses are good for three years. New Mexico does not have a reciprocal license agreement with any other states.
