Florida Real Estate School

MLO Licensing Requirements

Step-by-Step Licensing Guide

Applicants for the Mortgage Loan Originator License (MLO), must complete these steps:

How to Obtain your MLO License

Step 1: Obtain your Unique Identification Number with NMLS

Creating an account with NMLS (Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System) only takes a few minutes. After creating your account, NMLS will notify you by email with your Unique Identification Number. Click below to do this now.

Create my NMLS Account

Step 2: Complete the 20 Hour SAFE Comprehensive Course

The 20 Hour SAFE Comprehensive Course is the required pre-licensing education for Mortgage Loan Originators as mandated by the 2008 SAFE Act. Classes are available in Fort Myers and Naples. Click below to view our course information.

View Course Schedule

Step 3. Pass the SAFE Act Tests

You are required to take and pass the SAFE Act Tests – the National Component with Uniform State Test (UST) and the State Specific Component for each state you wish to originate in. Our recommendation is to complete the State Specific Component first and then the National Component. Scores of 75% or better are required to pass the SAFE Act tests.
  • TEST ENROLLMENT: First you must create a TEST ENROLLMENT on the NMLS website. You will pay a $110 fee for the National Test with Uniform State Test (UST) and a $69 fee for the State Specific Test upon the enrollment. Creating the enrollment is what will give you permission to schedule the test.

How To Pay For A Test Enrollment

  • SCHEDULE YOUR TESTS: **You must pay for the tests in the step above BEFORE you can schedule a test date.** The tests are given by Prometric Testing Centers, and they have centers located throughout the state of Florida and across the country. In Southwest Florida, the nearest facility is located at 4315 Metro Parkway Suite 120 – Fort Myers, FL 33916

We recommend using PearsonVUE. The cost of the FDLE fingerprint is $33.You may make an FDLE fingerprint reservation by calling PearsonVUE at1.877.238.8232.

Step 5: View your Application Status

Criminal Background Check Status
During your license approval process, you can view the status of an existing Criminal Background Check (CBC) request or retrieve a copy of your CBC Certificate.

How To View Criminal Background Check Status

Application Status
You may view the status of your MU4 Application and review any deficiencies that your state regulator has set. A deficiency is placed by the state regulator to notify you of any missing information that is still required in order to issue a licensing decision.Each time the status is updated by the Regulator in NMLS, you will receive a system generated email indicating the status change.

Information
How do the Florida Real Estate Post-Licensing Classroom Courses differ from the Post-Licensing Online Courses?
The difference between classroom education and online education is quite significant. With our classroom courses you will be taught by professionally trained instructors who are not only experts in the real estate industry, but they also understand how to prepare you for success on the exam. In a classroom setting you are able to ask questions, get clarification on subject matter that you may not understand, network with other professionals and HAVE FUN!
We understand that “going back to school” is not at the top of your to-do list, so we make sure you have a comfortable learning environment that is geared toward your comfort, and our interactive and energetic instructors make sure you have an enjoyable experience. Our reputation for high-quality classroom experiences is the reason why we are the market leader in Florida real estate education.
The online courses are geared toward those individuals who are unable to attend our classroom courses due to geographic location, physical hardship or are very comfortable in an online learning environment. Online learning is not right for everyone, but it can be a very convenient way to complete the required education. Keep in mind, however, if you do choose to complete the education in our online format, that it is up to you to determine when and where you will proceed through the course, as opposed to the classroom course where the schedule is already laid out for you and our instructors will tell you how to proceed through the course material.
Please call us at (239) 344-7510 if you have further questions about the difference between classroom and online education or need guidance in making a selection.
I was unable to complete the post licensure education prior to the expiration date due to a physical disability. What should I do?
61J2-3.020 (9) The Commission may allow an additional 6-month period after the first renewal following initial licensure for brokers and sales associates who come under the definition of a hardship case as defined in rule 61J2-3.013 (2). “A hardship case is defined as a case wherein a person desiring to take the Commission prescribed courses cannot, by reason of a physical disability, attend the place where the classes are conducted…The Commission shall require said request in writing supported by statements of doctors and other persons having knowledge of the facts.”
If you are a licensee that has a personal medical hardship and you are required to complete post license education, you may request an extension in writing to:
Division of Real Estate

Attn: Hardship Extension

400 West Robinson Street Suite N801,

Orlando Florida 32801

Please include a letter from your physician stating length of time you have been experiencing the issue and how long they anticipate you will be incapacitated.
Is anyone exempt from the post licensure education requirement?
No. Every Florida Real Estate Sales Associate is required to complete the 45 hr post license requirement.
What happens if I fail my post-licensing end of class examination?
If you fail your post-licensing end of class examination, whether you are a Sales Associate or Broker, you must wait 30 days before you are allowed to re-test. If you fail a second time, you must re-attend the course in its entirety.
What happens if I do not complete the Florida Sales Associate 45 Hour post-licensing requirement prior to the initial expiration date?
The license of any Sales Associate who does not complete the 45 Hour post-licensure education requirement is considered NULL & VOID. If you want to ever operate as a licensee again, you will need to repeat the 63 Hour Sales Associate Pre-License Course and pass the state examination.
What happens if I do not complete the Florida Broker 60 Hour post-licensing requirement prior to the initial expiration date?
The license of any Broker who does not complete the 60 Hour post-licensure education requirement has a 6 month time period from their renewal date where you can revert back to a Sales Associate license. If you do not revert back to a Sales Associate license during that 6 month time period, your license will be considered NULL & VOID. If you want to ever operate as a Broker again, you will need to repeat the 72 Hour Broker Pre-License Course and pass the state examination.
I’m an attorney and I want to obtain a Florida Real Estate Sales Associate license. What education do I need to complete?
As an active Florida attorney in good standing with the Florida Bar, you are exempt from completing the 63-Hours of Florida Real Estate Sales Associate Licensing, but you are required to complete 45-hours of post-license education before your first license renewal.

How to Pass Your Florida Mortgage Loan Originator Exams

As a result of the SAFE Act of 2008, every loan originator in Florida needs to pass 2 exams: the comprehensive 125 question national exam with UST and the 65 question Florida state specific exam.

If you’ve taken pre-licensing courses from anyone other than Larson Ed then you haven’t been adequately prepared for test questions about Florida’s unique laws. 20-hour SAFE comprehensive courses don’t cover it, online courses don’t cover it, only Larson Educational Services teaches it.

In order to learn the information necessary to pass the state exam, you need access to hundreds of sample questions, immediate feedback, and explanations covering the content you’ll see on test day. That’s exactly what you’ll get with Larson Ed’s MLO exam tutor available here (http://www.larsoned.com/mortgageloanoriginator/nmls/florida-exam-prep/online-course/) for $69.

In addition to the state exam prep tutor, we also have a tutor for the national exam available here (http://www.larsoned.com/mortgageloanoriginator/nmls/uniform-state-test-ust-prep-course/), also for $69.

Then, when it’s time to take the exams, remember these 5 tips for getting a passing score.

1. Take your time.

You have three and a half hours to answer the questions, which means there is no need to rush. Just take a deep breath and trust your preparation.

2. Read all the darn questions…2 times.

It’s too easy to skip over key words in the question. Our brain has this nasty habit of filling in the the blanks of sentences when we haven’t even seen every word. For example, did you notice the repeated word “the” in the last sentence? Give yourself a chance of getting the questions right by reading them each 2 times.

3. Read all the darn answers…2 times.

Before choosing an answer – even if you are 100% positive it’s right – read through all the choices. It may be that you have prematurely selected a response that is correct, but there could be another answer that is more correct. If you fail to read through all the answers there’s a chance you may mark the wrong one.

4. Longer is better.

If you come to a question that has you completely stumped, usually the longest choice is the most likely to be correct. This is not a hard rule of thumb, but rather an indicator to go off of when you don’t have any idea what the answer could be.

5. Treat each multiple choice question as 4 true-false questions.

Each multiple choice question will have 4 answers, each of which you should regard as a true-false question. This will help you ensure that you aren’t missing any details when responding to each question.

With these tips and the Larson Exam Tutors, you are sure to pass your state and national exams.
