Dear Colleagues
It is time to prepare for the March 31 2017 licensure renewal period This year we continue the Bureaursquos
statutory mandate requiring a state and nationwide criminal background check per Section 24-10B-2 NMSA
1978
Please refer to the EMS Bureau website for information and detailed instructions on the background
screening process (wwwnmemsorg) Click on Licensing
Due to the volume of background checks to be processed the EMS Bureau will require fingerprint background
screening by the following alphabetical schedule
Renewals due 3312017 Last name A-M
Renewals due 3312018 Last name N-Z
Renewals due 3312019 Last name N-Z
Renewals due 3312020 Last name A-M
This year if you are renewing and your last name begins with the letters A through M your renewal
application must have the required documentation showing completion of the background screening process
The renewal requirements are otherwise the same (see Renewal Checklist) The EMS Bureau will randomly
audit approximately 20 of all renewal applications If an individual is selected for audit the individual must
provide the original andor copies of the CE certificates listed on the submitted documentation form
Please remember that anyone who has provided fraudulent information is subject to disciplinary action per EMS
Licensing Rule NMAC 727213 G (2) If an individual from an EMS agency has provided fraudulent
information all of the individuals at that EMS agency may be subject to an audit of their renewal application
documentation as well
Thank you for your dedication to our profession Be safe
