Application Status
All new applications, renewals and changes for companies or individuals must be submitted online through the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS). For information on completing specific tasks such as renewing, amending, submitting sponsorship, etc., companies and individuals may visit the Quick Guides web page of the NMLS Resource Center.
Response Time
It is the intent of the division to handle each call, inquiry, and request as expeditiously as possible, but it is virtually impossible to have an immediate turn-around of requests with the volume of work received. Many of the questions asked of staff can be found by reviewing the Department’s website prior to calling or e-mailing the Department.
Checking Status
If you have submitted an application for a license, a license renewal, or any change affecting a current license, you can login to NMLS and view the current status of your application.
