Electricians Licensing in New Mexico: What to Know
New Mexico's COS data shows an unconfirmed 'Electricians' license entry — the agency field notes 'There is some indication that this license exists in New Mexico, but it has not yet been confirmed by state experts.' CE is required for renewal, and a state exam is required. No educational requirements are listed. This is one of the lower-confidence entries. New Mexico's Construction Industries Division typically oversees electrical licensing. Contact the agency directly for the most current requirements.
