Document Uploads
The Document Uploads section allows users to upload and submit PDF documents to regulators.
The Document Upload Descriptions and Examples guide details the types of documents that can be uploaded in connection with a record. Only documents that are available for selection can be provided through NMLS; all other documentation required by a state regulator must be submitted outside NMLS. For more information, consult the state licensing requirements checklists.
Only the applicable document for the Document Type selected can be uploaded in NMLS (e.g., when selecting to upload a Memorandum of Tax Certificate, only a tax certificate document related to the individual should be provided).
Deletion of Uploaded Documentation
NMLS stores all documents that have been uploaded as part of a record. Documents can be deleted or replaced. If you need to delete or replace a document for any reason, you can do so; however, the system maintains previously uploaded documents in a document type historical section on the Composite View page.
The document types that can be uploaded in connection with an individual filing are determined by each state agency. Not all licenses may require or permit all the documents listed below to be uploaded.
- Credit Report Explanations
- Legal Name / Status Documentation
- Memorandum of Tax Certification
- Personal Financial Statement
- State Background Check Authorization
- Verification of Experience
