Requesting NMLS Annual Renewal for MLO Licenses from the Renewal Selection List

Learn how to request annual renewal of Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) licenses by selecting individuals from the Renewal Selection List within NMLS.

About this task

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.

For companies that employ MLOs, individual licenses display on the dashboard only if the following criteria are met:

  • The individual has attested to their record for the corresponding regulator
  • Licenses are in a renewal-eligible status
  • Licenses are NOT marked as Prevent Renewal by the regulator
  • Individual reflects as “Compliant” for required CE hours on the Course Completion and Compliance Record in NMLS
  • Company is actively sponsoring the individual’s licenses that are eligible for renewal
  • License renewal requests were not previously submitted for the current year
