N.M. Admin. Code § 19.27.4.19
A well driller's license shall expire on the date set out on the well driller's license. A well driller shall file a well driller's license renewal application in accordance with 19.27.4.20 NMAC at least 10 days prior to the expiration date. If a well driller fails to file a well driller's license renewal application prior to the expiration date, the well driller's license shall automatically expire. A well driller allowing their well driller's license to expire must apply for a new well driller's license in accordance with the requirements of 19.27.4.12 NMAC. A well driller failing to renew a well driller license by the expiration date due to circumstances beyond their control may apply for an extension of time in accordance with 19.27.4.37 NMAC, if the state engineer finds the request to be reasonable and just. The state engineer may impose additional conditions of approval.
