Active members noncompliant with license-renewal requirements by February 1 face a $275 late fee; dues unpaid by March 31 are certified to the Supreme Court for citation and suspension (Rule 24-102 NMRA). Failure to pay the $150 annual disciplinary assessment brings summary suspension (Rule 17-203). Reinstatement requires petitioning the Board of Bar Examiners and paying twice the then-current license fee plus arrears and accrued late penalties.Verify with board
