A PA license expires every two years on a date set by the board. A PA who practices while the license is lapsed or on inactive status is practicing without a license, grounds for discipline under the Physician Assistant Act and Medical Practice Act. The board may summarily suspend a PA license for nonpayment if not renewed within 90 days of expiration. A PA who renews within 45 days after expiration (or 46-90 days) is assessed a late fee. (Replaces Justia with the official NM Legislature source; the prior record's '$100 reinstatement fee' was not in the located statutory text and was removed.)Verify with board

No audit process appears in the available data. Keep your certificates regardless — boards can request proof of completion at renewal or during an investigation.
