Notice to New Applicants

Effective March 7, 2008, the New Mexico Private Investigations Advisory Board began requiring all applicants for initial and renewal licensure to submit fingerprints for a criminal background check. In addition to the documents listed above, you will have to complete two fingerprint cards. Fingerprints must be on Regulation and Licensing Department/Private Investigations Advisory Board coded fingerprint cards. To obtain those cards, please contact RLD at (505) 476-4650 and they will be mailed to you, or, you may come into our offices located at the Toney Anaya Building, 2550 Cerrillos Road, Second Floor, Santa Fe, New Mexico. Complete the card with signature, date of birth, place of birth, height, weight, social security number and license type.

Fingerprints must be taken under the supervision of and certified by a New Mexico state police officer, a county sheriff, a municipal chief of police or by comparable officers in the applicant’s state of residence if the applicant is not a resident of New Mexico or a RLD approved private agency or individual.

Submit both completed fingerprint cards and verification form to the NM Department of Public Safety with a money order or cashier’s check for $44.00 made payable to the “NM Department of Public Safety”. This is the charge for the FBI and the state record. Cards submitted with the incorrect amount or with personal checks will be returned to the applicants. Please mail the cards and the payment to:
Fingerprint Section
