Step 1: Request your personal NMLS account:

​

The NMLS system is used to process MLO licensing requests for all 50 states. Creating an account and obtaining an ID number is a simple process that only takes a few minutes to complete.

​

1. Visit the NMLS online registration portal to request an NMLS account.
2. Select the Individual option.
3. If prompted, complete the security captcha and click next.
4. Provide the required information and submit to create your NMLS account.

​

Step 2: Complete Your NMLS Pre-License Education:

​

NMLS SAFE Mortgage Pre-License Training – Required

​

All states require 20 hours of mortgage education from an NMLS approved mortgage school.

​

‣ 3 hours of federal law
‣ 3 hours of ethics
‣ 2 hours of non-traditional mortgage lending training
‣ 12 hours of electives

​

If you are seeking a new mortgage license, be sure to enroll in the 20 hours SAFE course through OnCourse Learning or Mortgage Educators in addition to your state-specific education requirements.  Glory Mortgage is not affiliated with either company.  We took a survey with our top Mortgage Loan Originators and these two companies were both recommended the most.  Find out what your state’s specific requirements are for mortgage pre-licensing education.   Download FREE study material here.

 

Step 3: Pass the NMLS Mortgage licensing exam, also known as the SAFE MLO Test:

​

Once you’ve completed your pre-license education, you’ll need to schedule an appointment to take the National Test Component with Uniform State Content through your NMLS account.

​
