NATIONWIDE MORTGAGE LICENSING SYSTEM
On July 1, 2008, the Department of Banking (“Department”) will begin participation in the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System that is being developed by the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) and the American Association of Residential Mortgage Regulators (AARMR). The Department is one of the first states to begin using the CSBS/AARMR Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System. Through the system, Connecticut mortgage companies will be able to apply for and manage their license electronically. The System will save the Department significant resources in processing licenses and provide better supervision of the mortgage industry as Connecticut links with other states to protect consumers.
The System will be used by state residential mortgage regulators to accept and process license applications and license renewal requests. Licensees will be able to electronically manage a single record in the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System to apply for, amend, renew, and surrender licenses for one or more state regulators. The System will manage the licenses of all mortgage companies, branches, and loan originators.
