50 States Mortgage Licensing Lawyer

Since the enactment of the SAFE Act, all mortgage professionals and companies located in all 50 states in the United States have been required to obtain mortgage licenses.   Applications are submitted through the NMLS, as shown by clicking on the link below:

Some mortgage license application items are submitted electronically through NMLS and some items are submitted directly to the applicable state regulator.

It is important to note that NMLS is not a license, but a platform used by all 50 states to submit mortgage (and other financial services) license applications.   Accordingly, the actual mortgage license is granted by each state’s regulator.  For example, in California, both the DFPI and DRE (not NMLS) grants mortgage licenses.

Please review the mortgage license requirements of each state, and then contact me for a quote for license application services.   Each state typically has more than one mortgage license, which your mortgage business can choose from to fit your mortgage business model.

The Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act) was enacted on July 30, 2008, and mandates a nationwide licensing and registration system for residential mortgage loan originators (MLOs). The SAFE Act prohibits individuals from engaging in the business of a residential mortgage loan originator without first obtaining and maintaining annually:

  • For individuals who are employees of covered financial institution, registration as a registered mortgage loan originator and a unique identifier (federal registration),
  • For all other individuals, a state license and registration as a state-licensed mortgage loan originator, and a unique identifier ( state licensing/registration).

The SAFE Act requires that federal registration and state licensing and registration be accomplished through the same online registration system, the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (Registry).The objectives of the SAFE Act include aggregating and improving the flow of information to and between regulators; providing increased accountability and tracking of MLOs; enhancing consumer protections; supporting anti-fraud measures; and providing consumers with easily accessible information at no charge regarding the employment history of and publicly adjudicated disciplinary and enforcement actions against MLOs.
