How do I look up and verify a mortgage loan originator's NMLS license information?

You can verify any state-licensed mortgage loan originator for free on NMLS Consumer Access (NMLSConsumerAccess.org), a searchable public website maintained by the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS). It shows the originator's NMLS unique ID, license numbers and statuses by state, 10 years of employment history, sponsorship history, and state regulatory actions. You can search by name, company, location, or NMLS ID; the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau directs consumers to this same service to confirm whether a company or originator is authorized to do business in their state.
