New Mexico Office of the Superintendent of Insurance Application Review Process It is your responsibility to ensure that you have completed the license application and other supporting documents fully, properly and accurately. If your application is incomplete, the Department will reject the application, delaying the licensing decision.

After receiving your application, the Department has up to 10 days to determine whether it contains all required information and is therefore “administratively complete. These timeframes are the outer limits by which the Department must grant or deny a license application. The Department processes most license applications within 10 days. The Department is usually able to process applications submitted electronically faster than applications submitted on paper.

After reviewing your application, the Department will either issue or deny the license. If the Department denies your application, the Department will send you a notice that describes the denial reason and your appeal rights.

The Department may deny a license for any cause listed in NMSA § 59A-11-14. If your application contains inaccurate or untruthful responses, or material omissions, the Department may deny the license and prevent you from being licensed in the future. If the Department issues a license and later discovers that the application was incomplete or contained erroneous, untruthful or materially incomplete information, the Department may fine you or revoke your license. License Expiration When the OSI issues a New Mexico insurance license to someone who does not already hold a license, the initial license term is between 13-24 months and will expire on the licensee birth month. Future renewals will be a full two-year term expiring on the last day of the licensee birth month.
