The NMLS registration process is confusing, but if you follow the steps below it should ease your pain.

Step 1.  Go to NMLS and read what is required. The steps differ if your company has already completed a Form MU4 for you.

Step 2. Everyone needs to create an individual account.

Step 3. You can register for a test now if you want. Just make sure that you are logged into the account that you created in Step 2 and then choose Testing.

Step 4. Sign up here to take a prep course because if you fail one of the exams you have to wait 30 days to take it again. If you fail 4 tests in a row, you have to wait 6 months to re-take.
