The renewal period in NMLS has ended. A reinstatement period begins January 1st. See Step 3 below for deadlines and requirements to determine if your state regulator allows reinstatement.
Step 1 – Prepare for the renewal process
NMLS has prepared a Renewal Handbook to guide state-licensed companies and individuals
through the renewal process.
Do I need to renew my license if I received my approval for licensure after November 1, 2011? See
State-Specific FAQs.
Step 2 – Log in to NMLS and make sure your record is up to date
Make sure you can log in, with your user name and password.
Licenses must be in an approved status in order to request renewal.
To check your license status, follow the easy steps on the
License Status Review and Definitions Quick Guide.
Step 3 – Review deadlines and requirements
Review your state(s) requirements. Select your state(s) below to see renewal deadlines, details,
fees, etc. You can also download all of this information for all

Step 4 – Request renewal
Beginning November 1st, licensees can log into NMLS, click the
Renewal Tab and request renewal of their licenses, or indicate to
their regulator the licenses they do not intend to renew.
Individuals should log in and, through the Renewal Tab, attest to
each license as they meet the requirements listed in the attestation
language. Prior to submitting a renewal request, individuals should
coordinate with their company. In some instances, the company may
wish to submit the renewal request on your behalf (attestation must
be completed first).
