Correct answer: The NMLS is a technology and data platform that supports state regulators, which retain independent licensing authority

The NMLS was developed by the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) and the American Association of Residential Mortgage Regulators (AARMR) to serve as a technology platform supporting state regulators — it does not have authority over them. Each state's regulatory agency retains full, independent authority to approve, deny, suspend, or revoke licenses. The NMLS facilitates data collection and processing; it does not direct, override, or share equal authority with state regulators.
