Paying Renewal or Reactivation Invoices

After submitting institution or MLO renewal/reactivation requests, institutions must pay the generated invoice to complete the process.

About this task

Invoices are created when an institution submits renewal or reactivation requests for itself or for employed MLOs. Institutions must pay the invoice before the renewal/reactivation is finalized. Unpaid invoices prevent subsequent uploads until payment is completed.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the NMLS Login page (Federal Context).
  2. Log in to your NMLS account.
    Note: If you are landed on the NMLS Connect screen, select NMLS Federal Registry in the Quick Links section.
