What Is an Oregon Mortgage License Bond? 

The Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Service (DCBS) requires all mortgage professionals to get a bond in order to be licensed. The bond protects the public if a mortgage professional breaches licensing laws or commits fraud.

Surety bond coverage for Oregon mortgage professionals is based on the loan volume from the previous year, ranging from $50,000 to $200,000 in coverage.

How to Become a Licensed Mortgage Professional in Oregon

Oregon separates mortgage professional licenses into three categories. The type of work you do will determine which license process to follow. 

Mortgage Lender Licensing 

Oregon mortgage lenders are responsible for helping consumers get residential mortgage loans, making loans and selling residential real estate. Here are the steps to apply for a license:

  1. Get a surety bond in the proper amount
  2. Complete the NMLS application form
  3. Upload supporting application materials to the NMLS
  4. Upload a Notice of Client’s Trust Fund Account or Affidavit of No Clients’ Trust Account 

Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) Licensing  

MLOs are responsible for taking residential mortgage loan applications, fielding offers and negotiating loan terms. Here are the steps to follow to obtain a license:

  1. Complete 20 hours of pre-licensing education and pass the national test 
  2. Get a surety bond in the proper amount
  3. Complete the application (Form MU4)
  4. Upload all application documents to the NMLS
  5. Pay the appropriate application fee 

Mortgage Servicer Licensing 

Mortgage servicers in Oregon are responsible for assessing fees and translating information to borrowers, setting up new loans, and handling mortgage payments. Due to the nature of work, Oregon has more detailed requirements for a mortgage servicer licensure. Find specific application instructions on the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation website.
