These include activities such as fingerprinting for background checks, mailing state-specific forms, or providing supplemental documentation directly to state agencies. These requirements are essential for the timely processing of your license application.

To identify and complete these items, review the following resources:

• Using the License Requirements and Fees Chart – Review this resource to confirm which documents or tasks must be completed outside of NMLS and their required submission timelines.
