Plumbers in New Mexico

Licensed by: Construction Industries Division, NM Regulation and Licensing Department

Plumbing contractors need a CID mechanical license in the MM-1 (plumbing) or MM-98 (mechanical) classification, and the state rules list journeyman plumber certificates for the workers under those licenses. The MM-1 classification covers installing, altering, repairing and servicing plumbing, plumbing fixtures and piping, including septic tanks and sewer lines, but not natural gas piping, which falls under MM-2. Homeowners can check a license and its classification with the CID license search linked from the RLD verify-a-license page.
