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

The NMLS annual renewal window for state-licensed mortgage loan originators opens November 1 and closes December 31 each year. Completing renewal in that window keeps the license active for the next calendar year. NMLS also runs a reinstatement period from January 1 through the end of February for late renewals in participating states, and some states add late fees or state-specific requirements.
