MLO LICENSE REQUIREMENTS

If you intend to originate residential loans in the U.S., you will have to comply with Federal Law. If you intend to originate residential loans in California, you will have to comply with both Federal and California State law.

If you intend to originate loans as a loan officer for an insured depository institution such as a bank, savings & loan, or credit union, you will be federally registered, but not state licensed. You will be required to obtain a unique identifier number with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System & Registry (NMLS) for accountability purposes, but you will not be required to pass a test or take pre-licensing education. Consult with your employer about how to proceed.

If you intend to originate residential loans in California without working for an insured depository institution, you need the educational services we provide. You will be required to obtain a unique identifier number with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System & Registry (NMLS) for accountability purposes If you work as a Consumer Finance Lender (CFL) or a Mortgage Banker, you will answer to the Department of Business Oversight (DBO). If you originate loans as a Mortgage Broker, or under the supervision of a Mortgage Broker, you will answer to the Department of Real Estate (DRE).

Working under the oversight of the DBO or DRE, you must complete at least 20-hours of pre-licensing education before receiving your Mortgage Loan Origination (MLO) designation. You must also pass a challenging National Test with a score of 75% or better. Click here to visit the NMLS Getting Started page for more information.
