An expired NMLS license means that the annual renewal requirements were not met on time, leading to an inactive license. You can reactivate your MLO license with a Late CE Course during the 60-day reinstatement period that’s due at the end of February.
However, a license that remains inactive for a period of five years or more requires you to retake the NMLS test to continue originating. Use our selection of test preparation resources that include Idaho MLO practice tests, flashcards, and an easy-to-use application to ensure you pass with a score of 75% or higher.
The Idaho mortgage license renewal deadline is December 1 of every year. This is an essential component of your MLO license renewal. Make sure to mark down the submission deadlines published by the NMLS on your calendar. If you forget crucial deadlines, you risk bringing your career to a halt.
- SMART Renewal Deadline: December 10
- At-Risk Deadline: December 17
- Guaranteed Missed Deadline: December 31
