The NMLS helps to govern the regulations and licensing for mortgage brokers nationwide, and joining it will get you into the national system. There are a series of steps you will need to take in order to join, each of which will also include a shipping or registration fee.  You will need to undergo a background check, which includes submitting official fingerprints. If you have fingerprints on file with NLMS that are less than 3 years old, you will not need to be re-fingerprinted. You should know the results of your background check within 48 hours.  Pass the NMLS exams. The licensing exams from the NLMS cover both federal and state regulations. You will have 4.5 hours to complete both exams, which are typically not taken on the same day. You will need a pencil and calculator to work with, and perhaps other items depending on your state's requirements. You need a 75% score to pass the exams, and you should receive your results immediately after completing the exam. Once you are certified by NMLS, you need to get a license from the state you intend to work in. Each state will have a different office you need to contact for the license. Some states, such as California, have multiple offices you can register with. Like NMLS registration, these licenses will probably require a background check, as well as proof of citizenship, insurance, a surety bond, and addition education requirements beyond those listed in the SAFE Act. You will need to annually renew your broker license. Other requirements and fees vary by state, though you can do many of them through the NLMS. Make sure you are able to access your online account through NLMS, which will make the process quicker. As of November 1, you can request renewal through the system. Once you make the request, your state agency will be notified, review your request, and communicate any issues they find. At this point, your state is responsible for your renewal application Businesses can request licenses on behalf of their individual licensees. If you are working for another company before starting your own, check with your company to see if they are doing it for you.
