f you’ve completed your NMLS Continuing Education (CE), the next step is making sure those credits have been reported correctly. Fortunately, checking your education record in the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS) is quick and easy once you know where to go. Here’s a step-by-step FAQ to guide you.

Why should I check my NMLS education record?

Because compliance matters. Even if you finish your CE course, you’re not officially done until it’s reported to NMLS. Verifying your record ensures your license renewal won’t hit any last-minute snags.

When will my CE credits show up in NMLS?

Education providers (like MaxClass ✅) are required to report completions within 7 calendar days. Most providers, including us, report much faster—often within 24–48 hours.

How do I check my NMLS education record?

Here’s how to do it step by step:

1. Log into NMLS at https://mortgage.nationwidelicensingsystem.org.
2. Access the “Composite View” tab in the top right navigation.
3. Click on "View Individual."
4. On the left hand side of the screen click “Education Record.”
5. Select the year you want to review (e.g., 2025).
6. You’ll see a record of:
   • The course name
   • The provider (MaxClass)
   • The completion date
   • The credit hours reported

If you see your course listed with all details, you’re good to go.

What if my CE course doesn’t show up?

First, don’t panic. Try these steps:

• Make sure at least 24–48 hours have passed since finishing your course.
• Confirm you completed all course requirements, including any quizzes or end-of-course assessments.
• Double-check that your NMLS ID was entered correctly when you registered.
• If it’s still not showing after 7 days, contact your course provider (if it’s MaxClass, we’ll handle it ASAP).

Do I need to send my certificate to NMLS?

Nope! Certificates are for your personal records. NMLS only accepts credits directly from approved education providers.

Can I track past CE completions?

Yes. The Education Records tab will also show all prior years, so you can confirm your compliance history whenever you need.

Key Takeaway

Completing your CE is only half the battle—verifying it’s been reported in NMLS keeps your license renewal smooth and stress-free. Checking takes less than two minutes and saves you from scrambling at the deadline.

🔑 Pro Tip: Always register for CE early in the year. That way, if there’s any reporting hiccup, you’ve got plenty of time to fix it before renewal season.
