What is an NMLS number?

An NMLS number, formally the NMLS Unique Identifier, is a permanent number the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS) assigns to each company, branch, and individual that maintains an NMLS account. It stays with a mortgage loan originator across states and employers and supports uniform public access to employment history and disciplinary actions. Consumers can use it to verify credentials for free on NMLS Consumer Access.
