Whether you\u2019re drawn to the fast-paced real estate markets of Atlanta, Agustus, or other growing cities across Georgia, the demand for skilled mortgage loan originators (MLOs) is strong.\u00a0The term mortgage loan originator (MLO) and licensed mortgage loan officer are frequently used interchangeably and both reflect the important job of helping home buyers find and secure the right home loan for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/loan-officers\/important-skills-for-successful-loan-officers\">To be a successful loan officer<\/a>&nbsp;you\u2019ll need both a comprehensive understanding of the mortgage industry as well as good interpersonal and communication skills.

Pre-licensing classes for becoming a mortgage loan officer cover a range of topics from mortgage industry fundamentals to ethics and professional conduct. In Georgia, 2 additional hours of work must be completed that are dedicated to state-specific laws and regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morty recommends&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oncourselearning.com\/mortgage\/georgia\/mortgage\/new-license\" rel=\"nofollow\">Oncourse Learning<\/a>&nbsp;as a pre-licensing coursework provider.

First you&#8217;ll want to purchase your SAFE test prep materials and practice tests to begin studying and getting ready for the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) exam. This exam was instituted by Congress as part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Housing_and_Economic_Recovery_Act_of_2008#Secure_and_Fair_Enforcement_for_Mortgage_Licensing_Act_of_2008\">Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act<\/a>, known as the SAFE Act, of 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-image-fill-element has-white-color has-theme-palette-1-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"grid-template-columns:31% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/platform.morty.com\/blueprint-guide\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/gewn-634x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12848 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/gewn-634x1024.webp 634w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/gewn-186x300.webp 186w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/gewn-768x1240.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/gewn-951x1536.webp 951w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/gewn-1269x2048.webp 1269w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/gewn.webp 1338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-theme-palette-9-color has-text-color\" id=\"htoc-g\">Get a leg up with licensing.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" id=\"htoc-ready-to-move-forward\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Morty\u2019s can help you prep and pass your <strong>SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator exam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-theme-palette-3-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.morty.com\/product-category\/licensing-support\/\" style=\"border-radius:100px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">licensing resources<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-step-6-pass-the-national-safe-exam-to-become-an-mlo\">Step 6: Pass the national SAFE exam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To obtain your MLO license, you&#8217;ll need to pass the NMLS-developed SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator Test with a score of 75% or higher. This test is designed to assess your understanding of crucial concepts in mortgage lending. The test spans 190 minutes, allowing you ample time to demonstrate your knowledge and skills in various areas of mortgage loan origination. The cost of taking the test is $110. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mortgage.nationwidelicensingsystem.org\/profreq\/testing\/Pages\/default.aspx\">Schedule your test<\/a> at your convenience and when you feel prepared. If you don&#8217;t pass the exam on your first attempt, you are required to wait 30 days before retaking the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-step-7-complete-a-background-check\">Step 7: Complete a background check and get fingerprinted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you must complete a criminal background check and get fingerprinted. The background check can be initiated through your NMLS portal. You can also make your appointment to have your fingerprints taken through the NMLS portal. The current cost of both the background check and the fingerprinting is $36.25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-step-8-submit-your-mortgage-licensing-application\">Step 8: Submit your mortgage license application to NMLS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve passed your test, done your background checks and submitted a licensing application, you&#8217;re ready to submit your Georgia mortgage license application! To submit your application, head to your <a href=\"https:\/\/mortgage.nationwidelicensingsystem.org\/Pages\/default.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">NMLS portal<\/a> to: complete your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/mortgage-brokerage\/understanding-mortgage-licensing-forms-mu1-mu2-mu3-and-mu4\">Individual Form (MU4)<\/a> and pay your NMLS fees. The cost to submit your mortgage officer license in Georgia is: the $30 NMLS application fee, a $195 state application fee and a $15 credit report fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-step-9-get-sponsored-by-a-mortgage-company\">Step 9: Get sponsored by a mortgage company<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After finding and being hired by a mortgage originator, that&#8217;s either a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/loan-officers\/how-is-being-a-loan-officer-different-at-a-mortgage-broker-vs-mortgage-lender\">mortgage broker like Morty<\/a> or a mortgage lender like a credit union or bank, you can initiate the sponsorship process by submitting the company\u2019s credentials to the NMLS for verification.
