Notes
New Mexico does not require a statewide occupational license for individual carpenters. Contractors must be licensed by the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department, Construction Industries Division (https://www.rld.nm.gov/construction-industries-and-manufactured-housing/), but individual carpenters do not hold a separate state license.
