Getting Started: Company
Step 1 - Is my state participating in the NMLS?
Determine if the state in which you wish to apply for a license, or
you currently hold a license in, is currently participating in or has
announced participation in NMLS. Check the map on the NMLS Participating
States Page and review announcments posted on News and
Alerts to find out which states are joining.
Get a head start by requesting an account and completing
your record in NMLS. You will not be charged until your jurisdiction
participates and you submit to the State Regulator.

Step 2 - Request an Account
To gain access to the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS) for
the first time, a company must submit a form requesting an account. The
Company Account Request Form can be accessed at the link
below and takes only a few minutes to complete. Once the form has been
submitted it will be reviewed for accuracy. If validated, an
account will be set up for the company and User IDs and passwords will
be issued to the account administrator(s) identified.

Step 4 - What does my state require?
Review the jurisdiction-specific requirements for the
state in which you are using the NMLS to apply for a license or
transitioning an existing license. You can print out a checklist of
jurisdiction-specific requirements by going to the State
Licensing Resource Page. If your Jurisdiction is not yet
participating, you can enter your record by skipping the
License/Registration screen in NMLS and returning to it once your
Jurisdiction has joined.
|
Step 5 - Login & Complete Your Record
Once your company's account administrator(s) receives
his or her User ID and password, click on the "Log into NMLS" button
above. From there, follow the instructions outlined in the Tutorials and
Navigation Guides to complete your record and submit it to your state
regulator. If your state has not yet joined NMLS, you can skip the
License/Registration screen and create your record and save until your
jurisdiction joins NMLS.
