New Mexico Resident and Nonresident License Updates
Effective April 1, 2025, New Mexico is clarifying the language regarding Producer, Adjuster, and other license classes for resident and nonresident, for individuals and business entity licenses.
- Resident and nonresident Pharmacy Benefit Managers business entities will need to designate a Designated responsible licensed producers (DRLPs)
- Resident and nonresident Staff adjusters must be terminated within 30 calendar days and no longer within 10 calendar days.
Nonresident
New Mexico updated language involving requirements of getting a license as a nonresident agent or broker if convicted of a felony involving dishonesty or breach of trust if that person has written consent from the Superintendent. The individual must
- Have the written consent of the home state;
- And provide acceptable verification to the Superintendent by an OSI-prescribed method.
Resident
The requirement for when a license needs to be reinstated has been updated to remove the option to retake the qualifying examination. A licensee must complete all required CE before submitting an application.
For a resident adjuster license, if the applicant is a citizen of a foreign country, then the application must include proof the applicant is eligible to reside and work in the U.S.
Resident adjuster licensing made a change that each public adjuster must obtain separate proof of financial responsibility and may not rely on the bond of any other adjuster.
Fraternal benefit society producers must be licensed in the same manner as other producers, except that fraternal benefit society producers:
- Are not required to fulfill CE requirements
- Must actively hold a producer license with the line of authority within the requested license class as follows:
- A fraternal accident and health or sickness producer license
requires an accident and health or sickness producer license.
- A fraternal life or a fraternal variable annuity producer license
requires a life insurance producer license.
- A fraternal life or an annuity producer license requires a life
insurance producer license.
