How do I schedule the MLO license exam through NMLS?
You schedule the SAFE MLO Test in two steps. First, create an NMLS account and pay the $110 test enrollment fee through NMLS, which opens a 180-day enrollment window. Second, schedule an appointment at a Prometric test center, either online through NMLS or by calling Prometric at 1-877-671-6657. Arrive 30 minutes early with a current government-issued photo ID that matches your NMLS account name exactly.
You register and pay for the SAFE MLO test through your NMLS account, then schedule the exam with Prometric, the test administrator. Kansas requires a score of 75% or higher on the National Test Component with Uniform State Content, which satisfies both the federal and Kansas testing requirements.

The SAFE MLO National Test Component costs $110, and you schedule it with a testing provider approved by NMLS. Minnesota requires the National Test with Uniform State Content, with a minimum passing score of 75%, and has had no separate state test component since August 1, 2018.
