New Mexico requires Board-approved continuing education: providers submit courses through the Board's CEU application process, and the Board publishes a PACE Precheck pathway recognizing PACE-provider coursework. Verify a course's New Mexico standing before purchase, from any provider — the CCEDseminars courses carrying New Mexico approval appear in the catalog at the bottom of this page.

New Mexico carries no standing mandated topics — but the rule gives the Board machinery to designate specific courses as mandatory for a licensing year, with notice to all licensees by September 1 and expiration each June 30 unless renewed by Board vote. Watch Board communications each fall; when a mandate is active, we flag the qualifying courses here.

Renewal runs on attestation with documentation: you attest to your hours on the renewal form and submit it with certificate copies and the fee, postmarked by July 1. The Board mails renewal notices by June 1 to your address on file — keeping that address current is your responsibility. New licensees: if you were licensed between March 1 and June 30 of a renewal year, no CE is due for that first renewal; licensed more than four months before your first renewal, the full 16 applies.

Miss the cycle and the consequences escalate: penalty fees attach after the deadline, and failing to respond to the Board's forfeiture notice within its stated window — at least 31 days — results in forfeiture of the license. Reinstatement is available within two years, but it requires back fees for each lapsed year plus proof of CE for each year missed. CCEDseminars issues instant certificates with permanent dashboard copies, so renewal assembly and any audit response are a same-day pull.

A minimum of 16 hours of Board-approved CE every year under 16.4.10 NMAC, earned during the July 1 – June 30 reporting year. The license expires at midnight June 30, and the renewal — with attestation and certificate copies — must be postmarked by July 1. Advanced practice certificate holders complete 10 additional hours.

Up to 8 of the 16 hours may be earned by distance learning; the remaining hours come from live programs. Note that New Mexico counts a CE credit as a full 60-minute contact hour, so verify the contact-hour value of any program before assuming its advertised hours transfer one-to-one.

There are no standing mandated topics. However, the Board may designate specific courses as mandatory for a licensing year by majority vote, with notice to all licensed New Mexico chiropractors by September 1; such designations expire June 30 unless renewed. Watch the Board's fall communications each year for any active mandate.

If your license was issued between March 1 and June 30 of a renewal year, no CE credits are required for that renewal. If you were licensed more than four months before your first renewal period, the full 16-hour requirement applies — and advanced practice certificate holders also owe the additional hours under 16.4.15 NMAC.

Penalty fees attach after July 1, and the Board issues a forfeiture notice; failing to respond within the notice window — at least 31 days — results in forfeiture of the license. Reinstatement is available within two years of the lapse, but requires renewal and penalty fees for each lapsed year plus proof of continuing education for each year missed, so a lapse compounds quickly.
