  NMLS Individual, Branch, and Company Licensing and Transferring

  I have NMLS mortgage licensing questions and hope you can help. I’m getting conflicting answers to my questions, even from the NMLS and mortgage licensing companies like Integrity Licensing. I manage a mortgage NET branch on a P&L platform, based in Indiana. I am a small net mortgage branch licensed in 30 states as a dba of Nexa Mortgage. Nothing bad about NEXA, and I get along with everyone there, including my co-workers and vendors. There is no ill will or bad reason for me to be looking to transfer my NMLS licenses, as well as a couple of MLOs. My questions are the following:

  I am individually licensed in 30 states, and the mortgage net branch is licensed in 30 states. Can you please advise me on the best, smartest way to move companies from NEXA to C2C? Do I have a loan officer move first? Will the branch and individual NMLS licenses transfer from NEXA to C2C, or do I need to surrender the branch and start a new one? How about states such as Nevada, California, and Massachusetts, where it took me a long time to get my mortgage net branch and my individual NMLS. Are there any costs, fees, paperwork, or documents required for the new company? How about my name, One Capital Financial, which is a dba? How do I transfer my DBA to the new company? Can you please give me step-by-step guidance on the best, most efficient, and fastest way to make the move? How about our existing pipelines from the loan officers and the producing branch manager? My current branch, as well as I and MLO, are licensed in Hawaii, but the new mortgage company is NOT. I need to be licensed in Hawaii because I have many clients there. The owners of C2C said they will do everything possible to get the company licensed in Hawaii, so I am respectfully requesting your advice on the best, fastest way to get the corporation and/or my branch licensed in Hawaii. If you can give me step-by-step, easy-to-follow bullet points, it would be greatly appreciated.
