What is a Mortgage Loan Originator?

Under the SAFE Act, an MLO is a licensed individual or institution that works with a borrower to complete a mortgage transaction.

What is the SAFE Act?

The Secure and Fair Enforcement Act was enacted in 2008. The SAFE Act established standards for MLOs, including mandatory NMLS-approved education and testing. The SAFE Act applies to MLOs in all states, with the exemption of those working under a depository institution.

What is the NMLS?

The Nationwide Multi-State Licensing System and Registry ("NMLS&R") was created as a licensing and registration database for prospective and current licensees. The NMLS database can also assist consumers who are looking to verify licenses of both licensed mortgage loan originators and companies.

David Luna, President of MEC

What Education do I need for my state?

All states require a minimum of 20 Hours of NMLS-approved, pre-license education.
