New Mexico requires resident applicants to submit their fingerprints electronically for a background check. These background checks are run through both NM Dept of Public Safety as well as a national FBI background. Non-resident applicants do not have any fingerprint requirements, unless they have named NM the Designated Home State (DHS).

We do not issue licenses until we receive the results of the background check, pursuant to Article 59A-11-2 (E).

New Mexico Department of Public Safety (DPS) has partnered with IDEMIA to provide IdentoGo fingerprint services. All applicants must register prior to being fingerprinted. All registration information can be found in the “individual Licensing Instructions” document below.

Business Entity Licensing  

All resident and non-resident applicants can apply, renew, reinstate and add a line of authority online at www.NIPR.com.  

Business Entity licenses require an affiliation to be filed with the state after the online application has been submitted.  

  • At least one (1) Designated Responsible Licensed Producer (DRLP) must be provided on the application and have an active resident or non-resident license in New Mexico. Pursuant to NMSA 59A-12-15 (A)(2) the business entity has designated a licensed insurance producer responsible for the business entity’s compliance with the insurance laws of this state 
  • DRLP’s are required to cumulatively cover the lines of authority (LOAs) on the business application.
