Who Want to Apply for a License in Connecticut

All persons and entities who are not presently licensed in Connecticut as a Mortgage Lender, Mortgage Correspondent Lender, Mortgage Broker or Mortgage Loan Originator and want to apply for a license should begin by first reviewing Connecticut’s Jurisdiction-Specific Requirements, which provides the current licensing procedures and requirements applicable to mortgage lenders and brokers.

All new applications must be submitted to the Department via the National Mortgage Licensing System (“NMLS”).

If your company already has a completed record in the National Mortgage Licensing System, then applying for a license in Connecticut merely involves filing your company's record (Company Form), relevant branch records (Branch Form) and relevant Loan Originator records (Individual Form) with Connecticut through the NMLS and submitting the required jurisdiction-specific requirements to the Department.

If your company does NOT currently have a record in the NMLS and is interested in applying for a Mortgage Lender, Mortgage Correspondent Lender, Mortgage Broker or Mortgage Loan Originator license in Connecticut, getting started is easy. Go to the Getting Started page of the NMLS website and follow the steps outlined.
