The Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS) is now receiving new application and transition filings for Nebraska Secretary of State licenses, including for collection agencies and electronic surety bonds (ESB).
However, licensees should wait until they receive a communication from the Nebraska Secretary of State’s office before filing their transition application. The transition to NMLS is being rolled out in a staggered approach to ensure a smooth transition for all. Beginning in October, all agencies will be asked to transition to NMLS if they have not done so already. The Secretary of State’s office will also begin receiving new ESB applications through NMLS for the company license.
Applicants are now able to view the license requirements on the state agency licensing page through the NMLS website. Click here for more information.
Information regarding the license types, bond forms and more can be found on the ESB Adoption Map and Table posted on the NMLS Resource Center.
NMLS is also offering a new ESB course available on the NMLS Resource Center for all ESB-related information and to assist in the process of converting and creating new bonds in NMLS. This e-learning tool aggregates and consolidates all the different resources and information available on the NMLS Resource Center and Conference of State Bank Supervisors Learning Management System.
The ESB course contains recorded webinars, documentation, workflows, and other valuable resources for surety companies, surety bond producers, and NMLS licensees.
