Managing Document Uploads
Learn how to upload, organize, and manage the required supporting documents within NMLS to complete your license application successfully.
About this task
Use the Document Uploads section of the Company (MU1) Form to provide supporting documentation requested by state regulators as part of your license application. Document types are determined by each agency and appear in a drop-down menu within the section. Documents uploaded in one filing may be reused in future filings if they are still valid.
You should only upload documents that are specifically requested by a regulator or shown in the system. Do not upload placeholder or unnecessary documents. Refer to the NMLS Policy Guide for policy on what documentation is required, and see the Document Upload Descriptions and Examples for examples and formatting guidance.
