As of January 2, 2008, the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS) became the official system for applying for and maintaining mortgage broker/lender and mortgage loan originator licenses in Idaho. Paper license applications, amendment notifications, and surrenders are no longer accepted. Each of these functions must now be performed electronically through the NMLS.
If you are a current licensee in one or more of these jurisdictions, you must transition your license information on the System according to the transition plan outlined for Idaho. To review the transition plan for Idaho, click here: Idaho Transition Plan
Licensees will need their Idaho license number to complete the transition process and avoid paying an additional license application fee. If you received your initial license on or after December 3, 2007 you were provided a letter containing a “dummy” license number to use in the transition process. If your official license number is not accepted during transition, and you have misplaced the notification letter, contact the Department at 208.332.8002.
Licensees will have until September 1, 2008 to complete all relevant MU Forms and submit them to the Idaho Department of Finance through NMLS for acceptance. However, any licensee that needs to amend their license record, establish or terminate an employment relationship, or surrender any license must do so through NMLS beginning January 2, 2008.
Before applying for a license you should consult the jurisdiction-specific requirements for Idaho. If you wish to apply for a license and currently do not have an account on the NMLS, visit Getting Started, which will walk you through the application process.
The NMLS call center is available from 9:00am – 6:00pm EST at 240.386.4444. Contact the Call Center for technical and system navigation questions and support.
