To work as a mortgage loan originator in the United States, one must obtain an NMLS license. The NMLS, or Nationwide Multistate Licensing System, is a secure online platform that is used by state regulators to manage licenses and registrations for mortgage loan originators. The license application requires completing pre-license education and passing a national test. The NMLS license is a professional credential that demonstrates a thorough understanding of mortgage lending and compliance with regulations. It is required by many state regulators before anyone can do business as a mortgage loan originator.
