Court Reporter 

Certification Information 

To become a New Mexico Certified Court Reporter, court reporters must pass the Registered Professional Reporter examination given by the National Court Reporters Association.  No other state or national certifications are accepted.  

If a reporter already possesses the RPR certification, the reporter may apply for a waiver of examination by emailing the Board Governing the Recording of Judicial Proceedings at ccr@ccrboard.com and requesting a waiver of examination packet.   

The first-time application fee is $150 plus $145.63 for a background check, for a total of $295.63.  If the Certified Court Reporter Certification is granted by the Board Governing the Recording of Judicial Proceedings, each year thereafter, subject to change, there is a $125 renewal fee. Renewals are due Dec. 31st of each year.
