NEVADA — The Nevada Division of Mortgage Lending will begin accepting electronic surety bonds for the new state Mortgage Company License through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS) starting Jan. 1, 2020.
Anyone planning to renew their Nevada license as a mortgage broker and/or mortgage banker, needs one renewal as a mortgage company, according to the division. Legislators passed amendments to NRS 645B in 2017, creating the mortgage company license effective the beginning of 2020. The renewal season for these licensees started Nov. 1.
The old surety bond requirements for mortgage broker and mortgage banker licenses were identical. These requirements will remain the same under the mortgage company license, according to the amendments. Each mortgage company must obtain a corporate surety bond in the amount determined by the company’s annual loan production:
- $20,000,000 or less in volume = $50,000
- More than $20,000,000 in volume = $75,000
NMLS also manages several other license types for Nevada. It accepts electronic surety bonds for mortgage servicer licenses and supplemental mortgage servicer licenses. Both license types have the same bonding requirements, which vary by annual mortgage servicing volume:
- Less than $50,000,000 in volume = $100,000 bond
- $50,000,000 but less than $500,000,000 in volume = $200,000 bond
- $500,000,000 or more in volume = $300,000
