Important News about Temporary Authority to act as an MLO…..

Thanks to Max Lewis for providing this information.

“A little less than 2 weeks ago a new process went into effect in NMLS. It is called the “Temporary Authority to Operate.” You may or may not have heard of this. Basically, it allows a loan officer to be able to start originating loans the day their loan officer license application is submitted to the state.
Please note though that there are several conditions which must be met first:
• The company must already have a license to operate in the state in which you wish to license this loan officer.
The loan officer must be a W-2 employee.
• The loan officer must have at least one year of experience with a bank (deposit taking) preceding the date of application submission or 30 days of experience (licensure) at a non-bank company preceding the date of application submission – this is determined by the NMLS system.
• All of the requirements needed for licensure (background check, credit report, and any disclosure explanations) must be met before the license application can be submitted. What can be completed afterward is any state specific documentation, national test (if necessary) and any state specific PE. These final three items can be met once the approval is given by NMLS to operate under this new temporary authority regime. Also please note that these final three items need to be completed as soon as possible after the temporary authority is given as the state has up to 120 days to make a decision on the loan officer’ application whether to accept or deny.
The scenario above does not apply to loan officers who have had a previous license application denied, a previous license revoked or suspended, a cease and desist order or any type of misdemeanor or felony conviction.
This new ability has several benefits to you subject to the conditions listed above:
• You will be able to hire a high producing loan officer from a bank, and that loan officer can start originating pretty much right away as long as the conditions above are met.
• You will be able to hire a high producing loan officer from a competitor who can also start pretty much right away.
In each of the two situations above, the recruited person does not need to worry about being in a position of waiting anywhere from one to four months for an approval before starting to originate for the new employer. They can start right away.”

Please let us know if you have any questions.

 

Happy Holidays.
