Note: The general information shown below is intended for the benefit of AIA members.
For verification of a specific state’s mandatory continuing education (MCE) requirement, please contact the state licensing board directly.

Proof of Compliance
A registered architect shall complete and submit forms prescribed or accepted by the Board certifying to the architect's having obtained the required continuing education hours.

Non-Compliance Penalties
If any credits are disallowed by the Board, then the registrant shall have 180 calendar days after notification to substantiate the original claim or obtain other contact hours to meet the minimum requirements. Such contact hours shall not be used again in the next renewal cycle.
Any untrue or false statements or the use thereof with respect to course attendance or any other aspect of continuing education activity is fraud or misrepresentation and will subject the registrant to revocation of registration or other disciplinary action.

Failure to fulfill the continuing education requirements, or file the required biannual report, properly and completely signed, shall result in non-renewal of an architect's certificate of registration.

Exceptions and Exemptions
An architect whose initial registration occurs less than 12 months from the December 31st deadline date of the next renewal cycle shall not be required to report continuing education hours.
A registrant shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing continuing education requirements if the architect attests in the required affidavit that for not less than 21 months of the preceding two-year period of registration, the architect:

• Has served honorably on active duty in the military service (exceeding ninety consecutive days); or
• Is a resident of another state or district that accepts New Mexico requirements to satisfy its continuing education requirements, and certifies that all requirements for current continuing education compliance and registration have been met in that jurisdiction; or
• Is a government employee working as an architect and assigned to duty outside the United States.

The Board may consider a hardship case.
