Who needs this in Arizona

A company that collects consumer debts for others from Arizona residents generally needs a collection-agency license from DIFI.

Where to file

Apply through DIFI. Confirm on the DIFI licensing page whether your category files on NMLS or the state system.

Federal overlay

State licensing does not replace the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, CFPB Regulation F, or the TCPA. Those rules apply whether or not a state issues a license.
