Loan Originator Licensing

Go to Financials Strategies at http://www.financialstrategies.com/affiliate/8c812f/ and order the Online - Essentials of Utah 20hr Mortgage Education course

Then go to Promissors at www.promissor.com to schedule your Loan Agent Exam. Please see the October 2004 issue of the Mortgage Monitor at http://realestate.utah.gov/newsletters/mortgage/MM1004.pdf for detailed information regarding the mortgage lender exam.

Individual Application forms will be generated by the testing service after successful completion of the mortgage lender exam. You will need to submit this to Direct Lender’s Compliance Department with the following items:

  • Original certificate of completion of 20 hours of pre-license education
  • Two fingerprint cards or Fingerprint letter of waiver (issued by testing service)*
  • $200 Individual Application fee
  • $36 recovery fund fee
  • $39 fingerprint processing fee (do not need to be separate checks).

*If the exam is taken at one of Promissor's Utah test sites, fingerprints will be taken after the successful completion of the mortgage lender exam. If the test is taken outside of Utah, blank fingerprint cards are available through the Division of Real Estate. Most law enforcement agencies will take your fingerprints for a nominal fee.

Loan Originator Licensing – Mortgage Officer Reciprocity

If you meet the requirements below you may be exempt from the education and exam requirements
To become a licensed Mortgage Officer through reciprocity an individual must:

  1. Meet the statutory licensing qualifications of good moral character, competency, honesty, integrity, and truthfulness. (Utah Code Annotated 61-2c-203)
  2. Hold an active mortgage license in good standing from another state.
  3. Have at least five years experience actively originating loans or directly supervising the origination process.
    Note: experience must be as a licensee in a jurisdiction that requires pre-licensing education and exam. Experience in states that do not require pre-license education and exam will not count.
