When does the annual NMLS MLO license renewal period open each year?

The annual NMLS renewal period opens November 1 each year and runs through December 31. State-licensed mortgage loan originators must submit renewal requests, complete the required attestation, and pay applicable fees during this window so licenses stay active for the next calendar year. NMLS encourages finishing continuing education by its SMART deadline, December 5, because providers may take up to 7 calendar days to report course completions.
