How to Transition Existing Money Transmitter or Currency Exchange License to NMLS
Effective April 16, 2012, Washington is introducing NMLS as a new way to maintain your Money Transmitter or Currency Exchange license.
At this time, transitioning to NMLS for existing licensees is optional but has many benefits. NMLS streamlines the application process as well as the maintenance of your company’s license by providing a central location for company information and reducing the items you must mail to DFI.
