What does NMLS stand for?

NMLS stands for the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System & Registry, the system of record for non-depository financial services licensing in participating state agencies, including DC, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. The SAFE Act statute formally names it the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry. Mortgage loan originators use NMLS to register, complete education and testing requirements, and renew their licenses each year.
