IMPORTANT NOTICE-LICENSE & REGISTRATION APPLICATIONS
Applications listed below with a link of NMLS are those that are no longer accepted for submission directly to the Department. Submission of those applications may only be made through the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS), through which the Department will review and approve or deny your Georgia application. Processing of background checks and fingerprint cards must still be submitted through the Department. Instructions and checklists are available through the NMLS website links below. Review of law enforcement agency information may extend processing time to 8 to 10 weeks. Please allow for this processing time when you submit your application through the NMLS.

LICENSE & REGISTRATION REINSTATEMENT APPLICATIONS
Former licensees or registrants wishing to reinstate an expired or withdrawn license or registration will need to first file for a license or registration through the NMLS without using their expired license/registration number. When submitting the checklist of supplemental information to the Department, please include a cover letter indicating the GEORGIA license/registration number and company name you wish to reinstate.
FINGERPRINT PROCESSING - "GAPS"
Fingerprint processing is now available statewide through the Georgia Applicant Processing Services (GAPS). License and registration applicants who need to provide the Department with fingerprints for owners, officers and control persons, or for employees who may require the submission of fingerprint cards as a result of incomplete or questionable background check processing may now use the GAPS service. Out-of-state applicants without access to a Georgia GAPS location may still request fingerprint cards for submission directly to the Department. In-State applicants should use a GAPS location if possible. For more information and instructions, click on the GAPS links below. The GAPS form is a fillable PDF form for completion and return to the Department. On-line requests for hardcopy cards will be handled generally on the next business day.
