Where can I take an NMLS license renewal course?

Renewal continuing education comes from providers approved by the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS); NMLS itself does not offer courses. The standard renewal requires 8 hours of NMLS-approved CE, and the provider must report your completion and it must post to your NMLS record before you can renew, typically within 7 calendar days. NMLS encourages finishing CE by its SMART deadline, which it publishes on its annual renewal calendar, because reporting takes up to 7 days and renewal closes December 31.

Course completions can take up to 7 days to post to your NMLS record, so finish well before the December 31 deadline.
