Oregon Begins Using Uniform State Test for Mortgage Loan Originators

by | Jan 12, 2015

Source: NMLS(Jeff Sorg – OnlineEd) – The Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) has announced that the Oregon Department of Finance and Corporate Securities (DFCS) began using the National SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) Test with Uniform State Content. This brings the total number of state agencies using the test to 46.

The Oregon DFCS regulates both bank and non-bank mortgage lending and is responsible for licensing individual MLOs employed by lenders and mortgage brokers who take loan applications or negotiate terms of residential mortgage loans with prospective homeowners.

The test, which was first made available on April 1, 2013, combines both the national and state testing requirements of the SAFE Act and streamlines the license application process for MLOs seeking licenses in multiple states. For these adopting states, the new test replaces the separate, state-specific tests.

Since its release on April 1, 2013, more than 42,000 MLO applicants have taken the National SAFE MLO test with Uniform State Content.
