New Mexico Level 3 Firearm Suitability Evaluations — Fully Remote
MMPI-3 evaluation and licensed-psychologist certification of mental suitability for armed security duty, completed from home anywhere in New Mexico.
The New Mexico Requirement, Explained
New Mexico requires Level 3 security guards — those authorized to carry firearms on duty — to be evaluated by a licensed psychologist who certifies their mental suitability to carry a firearm as part of the licensure process.
Safeguard Testing Services administers the MMPI-3 remotely through Pearson's secure Q-global platform. A licensed psychologist reviews your results and issues the written suitability determination required for your Level 3 application.
The entire process is telehealth — no office visit anywhere in New Mexico.
Honest evaluations — what if I'm not certified?
If the psychologist cannot certify mental suitability for armed duty based on your results, you'll receive an honest explanation of the finding and guidance on options. We provide professional evaluations, not guaranteed outcomes — no legitimate provider can promise a result.
