Must a state require loan originator license applicants to furnish to the NMLSR fingerprints and authorization to obtain a credit report to the NMLSR?
Yes. Section 1505(a) of the SAFE Act requires an applicant to furnish his or her fingerprints to the NMLSR for submission to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and any other governmental agency or entity authorized to receive such information for a state and national criminal history background check.
