Uniform State Content (SAFE Act)Question 390 of 400
A licensed MLO in State A wishes to originate loans for borrowers purchasing homes in State B. Under the SAFE Act, the MLO must:
a.Do nothing; a license in one state authorizes lending in all states
b.Obtain a separate license (or otherwise be authorized) in State B, since MLO licenses are issued state by state
c.Only notify State A of the additional activity
d.Register federally instead of holding any state license
Explanation
State MLO licenses are jurisdiction-specific. An MLO must be licensed (or otherwise authorized) in each state where they originate loans. NMLS facilitates applying for licenses in multiple states through one system, but each state issues its own license and may have additional requirements.
