License Status

2019 License Renewal Period Has Ended
The Annual License Renewal Period for 2019 has ended. A licensee that has submitted a renewal filing through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System on or before December 31, 2018, can continue to work as an MSB unless and until there is a surrender/withdrawal of the license or a final order of denial or revocation is issued by the Department.
Renewal applicants with incomplete applications (e.g., unpaid fines/fees, license items) will be expired during the month of January 2019.
PENDING RENEWAL REQUESTS
Does your license have a renewal request pending? If so, please check your NMLS record for any deficiencies, or license items, placed by the Department. No renewal request will be approved with outstanding license items.
Many licensees that have not yet been approved owe fines and fees check your NMLS record to see if your renewal is being delayed due to unpaid fines and fees.
Fines and fees must be paid through the NMLS Agency Fee Invoice. Please visit the following link for information on how to pay the Agency Fee Invoice in NMLS: For a Company http://mortgage.nationwidelicensingsystem.org/licensees/resources/ LicenseeResources/Paying%20an%20Invoice_C.pdf

Forgot to Renew an MSB License?
If an MSB did not request renewal by December 31, 2018, the license expired by operation of law effective January 1, 2019, AND the licensee may not conduct MSB activity in Georgia. The licensee must submit a new application through the NMLS: http://mortgage.nationwidelicensingsystem.org/slr/Pages/DynamicLicenses.aspx? StateID=GA

NMLS Money Services Businesses Call Report and 4th Quarter 2018 Quarterly Reporting
Quarterly reports on transactions that occurred between October 1, 2018, and December 31, 2018, are now due. The Department utilizes the NMLS Money Services Businesses Call Report (MSBCR) functionality for submission of routine financial and transactional reporting requirements by Seller of Payment Instrument and Money Transmitter Licensees.
The NMLS MSBCR is a mandatory filing for Seller of Payment Instrument and Money Transmitter Licensees and is due 45 days after the quarter end (February 14, 2019). Licensees should follow the instructions and directions provided by NMLS for completing the MSBCR requirement, in addition to updating the Uniform Authorized Agent Report (UAAR). Even if you have nothing to report and have no authorized agents, you must complete the MSBCR and the UAAR in NMLS.
All updates and resources pertaining to the MSBCR will be posted on the MSB Call Report page on the NMLS Resource Center. Likewise, the Department will continue to communicate with its licensees for reporting requirements outside of NMLS. Questions regarding the MSBCR or the UAAR should be directed to the NMLS Call Center at 1-855-NMLS-123 (1-855-665-7123).
In addition to the reporting through NMLS, licensees must also submit Average Daily Balance of Outstandings directly to the Department, outside of the NMLS, through the existing webform https://dbf.georgia.gov/webform/quarterly-reporting-sale-payment-instruments-and-money-transmitterlicensees.
Please complete and submit all reports by February 14, 2019.
Licensees that fail to file all required reports by the deadline will be assessed a fine of $1,000 and may subject their Georgia license to revocation.
If you have additional questions, please e-mail the Department's MSB Section at msb@dbf.state.ga.us.

Upcoming Atlanta Check Cashing Class
The Department offers a check cashing class that benefits first-time and experienced check cashers. These classes generally last about an hour. There is no cost for the class and it is a great way to learn about Georgia law, Department regulations, the Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA") and Anti-Money Laundering ("AML") requirements. During examinations, those who have attended the class have stated that the knowledge and information they gained helped prevent violations and avoid the imposition of fines.
As a further benefit, the Department provides a certificate of attendance that licensees may use as evidence of training received on BSA and Anti-Money Laundering.
The classes are limited to a maximum of seven attendees, so you must make an advance reservation by calling 770-986-1652 or emailing msb@dbf.state.ga.us. Reserve your seat now! We look forward to seeing you.
