Per the Mortgage Loan Company Act, anyone conducting business as a mortgage lender in the State of New Mexico must have a Mortgage Loan Company License on file with the New Mexico Financial Institutions Division (NMFID). Part of the licensing process includes submitting a surety bond via the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS). The bond amount varies and is based on the total dollar amount of mortgage loans originated the previous year:
| Loans Originated | Bond Amount |
|---|---|
| $0 – $3,000,00 | $50,000 Bond |
| $3,000,000 – $10,000,000 | $100,000 Bond |
| $10,000,001 or greater | $150,000 Bond |
NMLS requires the executed bond to be uploaded to their site and the original mailed to the NMFID. Total licensing costs are $1,600 including NMLS processing fee. The cost for the credit report for control persons is $15 per control person. Any fees collected through the NMLS are not refundable.
