Oklahoma Department of Consumer Credit

~Attention Mortgage Lenders,Brokers & Originators~

NATIONWIDE MORTGAGE LICENSING SYSTEM (NMLS)

With the passing of Senate Bill No. 1062, the Department of Consumer Credit will soon become part of the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS) beginning August 3rd, 2009. NMLS is a collaborative effort among state regulators to bring greater efficiency and accountability to the supervision of the mortgage industry.

Any company or individual in the mortgage industry may be required to become a part of this system. The Department has sent out letters to all mortgage brokers, lenders and those now holding an exemption with the State of Oklahoma providing further details. You can obtain more information regarding the licensing process in Oklahoma through the NMLS website.

The NMLS website (www.stateregulatoryregistry.org/nmls) provides step-by-step instructions on how to access the system, guides on how to complete the MU Forms, tutorials and much more.

The Department of Consumer Credit is no longer accepting applications in paper form and any entity or individual wishing to apply for a license will now need to submit the application through NMLS.

Please watch this page for further updates as we begin this process.
