Managing NMLS Annual Renewal for MLO Licenses or Registrations

Overview of how companies manage the annual renewal process for Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) licenses and registrations in NMLS, including collaboration with MLOs to ensure timely and accurate renewals.

Large Company Process: Renewal Dashboards

For companies with a larger number of company, branch, and individual licenses, NMLS has a Renewal Dashboard which allows for easier visual indication of licenses available for renewal. The Renewal Dashboard is recommended for large companies due to the ability to process renewals by entity type (company, branch, or individual) or jurisdiction.

See Requesting NMLS Annual Renewal for MLO Licenses via the Renewal Dashboard for more information.

Small Company Process

For smaller companies and sole proprietors, using the Renewal Selection List provides a quick, filterable list of all company, branch, and individual licenses available for renewal. Companies can renew all of the licenses at once or can choose a single license to renew or not renew.
