About NMLS
The Nationwide Multistate Licensing System ("Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System," "NMLS," or "the System") is the system of record for non-depository, financial services licensing or registration in participating state agencies, including the District of Columbia and U.S. Territories of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam.
In these jurisdictions, NMLS is the official system for companies and individuals seeking to apply for, amend, renew and surrender license authorities managed through NMLS by 62 state or territorial governmental agencies. NMLS itself does not grant or deny license authority.
