The Department of Banking and Securities uses NMLS to manage pawnbroker licensees.  Through NMLS, your company will be able to apply for, amend and renew your license/registration authority conveniently and safely online. In order to use NMLS, current licensees must enter their company information onto NMLS by creating a base record and obtaining a unique company identifier.

Licensees should direct those who inquire about its license status to the NMLS Consumer Access website at www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
