NMLS Information (Effective July 15, 2025):
Effective July 15, 2025, the OCCC will begin accepting new Regulated Lender license applications AND transitioning existing Regulated Lender licenses into NMLS.
What is NMLS?
NMLS (Nationwide Multi-State Licensing System) is a secure web-based system created by state regulators to provide efficiencies in the processing of state licenses and to improve supervision of state-regulated industries. Through NMLS, companies maintain a single record which they use to apply for, maintain, renew, and surrender license authorities in one or more states. NMLS also contains functionality for the submission of documents and other information required for license types administered by the OCCC.
What resources are available to assist with NMLS?
The NMLS Resource Center provides step-by-step instructions on how to access the system, guides on how to complete the forms, each state’s transition plans and requirements, tutorials, current and future participating agencies, system alerts, system processing fees, and general background information. Training opportunities are also available in the News & Events section and from the home page.
