• Mortgage Servicer Licensing Opinion
  The Commissioner has issued an opinion that owners of mortgage servicing rights and owners of mortgage loans for which mortgage servicing rights have been retained, who hire licensed mortgage servicers to perform the mortgage servicing necessitated by ownership, must obtain a mortgage servicer license unless exempt or excluded from licensure.

How to Apply:

If you wish to apply for a mortgage servicer license you should begin by first reviewing Connecticut’s Jurisdiction-Specific Requirements along with Connecticut's mortgage servicer statutes, which provides the current licensing procedures and requirements applicable to mortgage servicers.

If your company already has a completed record in the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System and Registry, then applying for a license in Connecticut merely involves filing your company's record (Form MU1), control person records (Form MU2), and relevant branch records (Form MU3) with Connecticut through the NMLS and mailing in the jurisdiction-specific requirements to the Department.

Go to the Getting Started page of the NMLS website and follow the steps outlined:

Any questions relating to the NMLS should be directed to the NMLS Call Center at (855) 665-7123.
