Paying for a Company MU1 New Application Filing

Complete the one-time payment steps to submit your MU1 new application filing after attesting and submitting in NMLS.

About this task

After you click Attest and Submit for a new MU1 filing, NMLS opens the One Time Payment flow (Step 1 of 3). Follow the on-screen prompts to provide payment information and finalize the filing. NMLS processing fees are non‑refundable; state agency fee refundability varies by state requirements—see State Licensing Checklist Compiler. For a general overview of fees, see NMLS Processing Fees.
