Like Colorado, the license year begins April 1 and ends March 31 the following year. Licenses are valid for one license year only. The cost for an annual, non-resident license is $56.00.

In addition to a New Mexico Fishing License or Game-hunting & Fishing License, once each license year - April 1–March 31 - anglers must purchase a Habitat Management & Access Validation (HMAV). The HMAV is not required for anglers 17 years of age or younger, or in conjunction with any free fishing license or privilege.
