How to Get Your NMLS Background Checks and Fingerprints Done
Every mortgage loan originator must get a background check before they can submit their licensing application. But why is a background check necessary? Shouldn't your employer trust that what you put on your resume is true? While your employers certainly aren't out to prove you as a criminal, a background check is a necessary precaution that helps the workplace remain a safe, honest environment. A background check also verifies that you have the proper qualifications and education needed to be a successful mortgage loan originator.
