Welcome to
the NJDOBI Banking Annual
Reports Online Application
for report year 2023.
In order to
ensure your annual report
is properly completed and submitted, please read all of these
instructions carefully. We also recommend printing these instructions
to have as a future reference.
Who Must File
an Annual Report?
Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 3:23-4.1, ALL
NEW JERSEY
BANKING DIVISION LICENSEES are required to file an annual report after each calendar year in which
they were licensed. Because you were licensed in 2023, you are
required to file an annual report in 2024 even if you did not conduct
any business in 2023, and even if you ceased doing the business
activities for which you were licensed in New Jersey in 2023.
If you were actively licensed on December 31, 2023 in the State of New
Jersey, your annual report must reflect the total activity of your
business as of the end of 2023.
If you surrendered your license during
2023 (closed your business, merged with another company, etc...), your
annual report must reflect the total activity of your business as of
the date of surrender. For example, if you closed your business on
March 3, 2023, you would report the activity of your business in New
Jersey up to this date.
Your annual report should only reflect
the amount of business done in New Jersey through your main office and
all New Jersey branch offices during 2023 unless otherwise directed to
do so in the detailed help available for each page.
General
Instructions
When filing electronically, the
Department recommends first downloading and printing out the Worksheet
that corresponds to the particular type of annual report you will be
filing, and completing this worksheet in its entirety before entering
your annual report data into the online system. These worksheets are
available by license type in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file formats
and can be accessed by clicking on the appropriate link listed below:
Mortgage Licensees in the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS)
Please review the Annual Report
worksheet form to familiarize yourself with its contents prior to
attempting to enter data electronically. Some sections of these forms
are followed by supplements that will allow you to enter detail
information much more easily.
After you complete the online report,
click "SUBMIT" to send it to the
Department. Only if you click "SUBMIT"
will you receive a confirmation number,
confirming receipt by the Department. Then, you will be able to print a
copy of the completed report to retain for your files. If you do not receive a
confirmation number, your Annual Report will not be considered as
"filed."
Use the "Tab" key to navigate from field
to field on each screen.
Audited Financial StatementsARE ONLY required for Debt Adjuster (C14, I14 or P14) Licensees, Money
Transmitter (C22, I22 or P22) Licensees and High Cost Home Loan Credit
Counselor (C24, I24 or P24) Licensees.
You may not submit
your own financial statements as a substitute for the financial
information being requested. You must supply this
information by using either the online Annual Report or the hard copy
form supplied by the Department upon request. You will also need prior
approval from the Department before you can submit a hard copy Annual
Report.
Valid numbers and amounts are up to 13
digits in length, characters 0 through 9 and must have a POSITIVE
value. The only exceptions are: the Stockholders' Equity page of the
Balance Sheet and the Net Income page of the Income Statement. On both
pages, negative values are allowed.
Enter all amounts in whole US dollars
only, unless otherwise instructed. To round an amount to the
nearest whole dollar, any partial dollar amount 50 cents and higher
should be rounded up to the next whole dollar, and any partial dollar
amount 49 cents and lower should be rounded down to the previous whole
dollar.
Round all percentages and other fractions
to two decimals places. For example, round .66666… (2/3) to
.67; round 5 1/8 (5.125) to 5.13.
All information is required unless
otherwise specified.
All dates should be entered in
month/day/year format. For example, 01/22/2023.
The requirements for completing and
filing the Annual Report are determined by your License Type. If you
actively conducted business during the year under more than
one License Type, you will need to complete one Annual Report
for each type of license.
Each page will include a help button and
an email link to provide assistance.
