Application valid one year. Instructor licensing has written theory and state-law written segments, each with scaled score 70; the instructor licensing examination may be taken only once for multiple licenses.
Expiration
Expired for more than five years
Minimum Age
At least 17; submit a complete online application and required fee.
Practitioner License
Hold a current New Mexico practitioner license in the discipline to be taught. This is a credential qualification, rather than a requirement to take the practitioner licensing examinations again.

Training Conflict
16.34.5.8(B)(3), amended January 13, 2026, specifies a 500-hour instructor course or two current consecutive years of work experience. The same-date 16.34.4.13(A) still states: "a transcript for a 1000-hour instructor training course or proof of two years of current and consecutive work experience". Both provisions are retained; the current regular-license and subject-scope amendments specify 500 hours.
Unregistered Nationwide Examination
