How do I obtain my NMLS education record?

This solution is from the NMLS website. Click here to view their site. 

The Course Completion and Compliance Record functionality in NMLS is an integral part of determining if an individual is compliant with Pre-Licensure Education (PE) or Continuing Education (CE) requirements. An approved course provider has seven (7) calendar days after course completion to report (bank) a student’s credits in NMLS.

View an individual's education record in NMLS:

  1. Navigate to the NMLS Resource Center.
  2. Click the Log into NMLS button in the upper right corner and log in.
  3. Click the Composite View tab.
  4. Click View Individual on the top sub-menu. If you are a company user attempting to access an individual’s Education Record, search for the individual using their NMLS ID or first and last name.
  5. Click View Education Record on the left navigation panel.

[Result] The NMLS Course Completion and Compliance Record will launch in a separate tab/window.

Record Layout Key:

  1. Click to report missing or incorrect information – this link will take the user to a monitored comment box on the NMLS Resource Center.
  2. Use this icon to print the record.
  3. View License/Registration List – this link will take the user to the View License/Registration List under the Composite View tab which contains pertinent licensing information for an Individual.
  4. Show All/Hide All – this link will allow the user to expand or collapse all sections of the record. For usability purposes, the System will display Pre-Licensure Education (PE) and the last 3 years of Continuing Education (CE) expanded in the initial record view.

Throughout the education record, colors and icons are used to differentiate between PE and CE, as well as, compliant vs. non- compliant.

  • Pre-Licensure Education information is represented by green bar(s).
  • The following terms are used to reflect compliance statuses for PE and CE:
    • Compliant () means the number of required hours for the requirement is completed.
    • Pending () means that not all the required numbers of hours have been completed.
    • Not Required displays if an individual applies for or holds a license that does not require education compliance

Courses Taken (PE/CE) – represents courses banked by the course provider.

NOTE: State specific courses are identified by the two letter state abbreviation code in the course title e.g. CA for California, KY for Kentucky, etc.
