Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

A. Administrative provisions relative to the renewal process:

(1) Licenses and registrations expire on an annual or biennial basis on October 31. The specific annual or biennial schedule for each license or registration type is further detailed in 16.7.4.20 NMAC.

(2) A current license or registration renewal form shall be mailed to the last known address on file with the board.

(3) Each licensee and registrant must inform the board in writing, within 30 days of any change in contact information, such as address or telephone number.

(4) Failure to receive the renewal notice shall not relieve the licensee or registrant from the responsibility of renewing the license or registration by the renewal date.

(5) The licensee or registrant shall complete the renewal application form in the manner stated on the form. The form must be submitted with the requested documentation and required fee(s) as set forth in 16.7.3 NMAC.

(6) Incomplete renewal applications will be returned to the licensee or registrant for completion, which might result in the assessment of late penalty fees.

B. Grace period provisions:

(1) Renewal applications for licenses or registrations postmarked or hand-delivered after October 31 must also be accompanied by the late renewal penalty fee established in 16.7.3 NMAC. If October 31 falls on a weekend, a renewal postmarked or hand-delivered on the next business day will be considered timely.

(2) After the renewal date of October 31, there is a 60 day grace period ending December 30 of the same year during which the license or registration may still be renewed, and during which the licensee or registrant may still practice or provide the services authorized by the license or registration.

(3) Massage therapists who have not renewed their licenses with a postmark date of December 30, or the next business day if December 30 falls on a weekend, will automatically be placed on inactive status as of December 31 of that year.

(4) Massage therapy schools that have not renewed their registrations with a postmark date of December 30, or the next business day if December 30 falls on a weekend, will automatically expire and become null and void immediately.
