Our motto – LEARN MORE – EARN MORE

Mortgage Loan Originator’s License – required for an individual who, directly or indirectly solicits or offers to solicit a mortgage loan, accepts or offers to accept an application for a mortgage loan, negotiates or offers to negotiates the terms or conditions of a new or existing  mortgage loan on behalf of a borrower or lender, processes a mortgage loan application, or negotiates  or offers to negotiate the sale of an existing mortgage loan to a non-institutional investor for compensation or gain.

The most visible changes to the mortgage industry are the stringent licensing requirements today’s loan originators are held to and the SAFE Act which is  designed to enhance consumer protection and reduce fraud by encouraging states to establish minimum standards for loan originators.

Pre-Licensure Education Requirements

Information about Getting Started from the NMLS Resource Center

New state-licensed MLOs are required to complete 20 hours of NMLS-approved education. This education must include 3 hours of Federal law, 3 hours of ethics (which shall include fraud, consumer protection, and fair lending issues), 2 hours of non-traditional mortgage lending, plus 12 hours of undefined education (referred to as electives). Number of hours is 3/3/2/12 = 20

Florida does not have a requirement for instruction on state-specific law.

Continuing Education Requirements

Every state-licensed MLO (in any approved status) is required to complete at least 8 hours of NMLS approved education annually beginning with the first year after they complete PE (see chart below). Annual CE education must include 3 hours of Federal law, 2 hours of ethics (which shall include fraud, consumer protection, and fair lending issues), and 2 hours of non-traditional mortgage lending, plus one (1) additional hour of education (referred to as an elective). Number of hours is 3/2/2/1 = 8

MLOs are advised that to comply with the SAFE Act’s “successive years” rule, they may not take the same CE course two years in a row.
