- Apply for an NMLS account and ID number.
- Complete your Pre-License Eduction (this course).
- Pass a licensing exam.
- Apply for a license with the NMLS.
- Complete background checks and pay all fees.
- Associate your NMLS account with an employer.
Complete Your Pre-License Education
Each state has different requirements for licensure. It is your responsibility to make sure that you meet the education requirements for the states that you want to do business in. This usually means that you must complete 20 hours of pre-license education at a minimum. Some states have additional requirements. You will need to complete state-specific courses for each of the states that you wish to work in.
Visit the NMLS website for a complete list of state requirements.
Pass a Licensing Exam
After your education is completed along with all state-specific modules, you need to schedule an appointment to take your licensing examination at a testing facility. This exam is administrated by Prometric. Follow the guides below to schedule your exam:
