How to Get Your Mortgage License in Alabama

The Advantages of an Alabama NMLS License

When you become an official Alabama loan officer, you’ll be a valuable go-to resource. Everyone will remember that you helped them when they bought their home or another property. In addition, you’ll connect with a wide range of interesting, successful people. 

Does it seem like there are a lot of obstacles in your path before you can get your mortgage license? That’s why Mortgage Educators exist. If you’re motivated to start an exciting career, we have the experience to help you get your license fast. Our education bundle will help you complete your 20 hours of classes in simple, bite-sized pieces.

Alabama Mortgage License Education Requirements

Before you can get your first MLO (mortgage loan originator) license in Alabama, you are required to finish 20 hours of NMLS-approved classes, split up like this:

• Federal laws and regulations: 3 hours

• Fair lendings, ethics, fraud, and consumer protection: 3 hours

• Electives: 12 hours

• Non-standard lending: 2 hours

At Mortgage Educators, we bundle these classes into a single package for one fair price. And this includes practice tests designed to help you pass your actual NMLS National Test when it counts.

What's the Difference Between an Alabama Mortgage Broker License and an Alabama Loan Officer License?

Usually, the state only issues an Alabama mortgage broker license to a firm that employs several officers and other workers to sell mortgages. In contrast, an Alabama MLO license is issued to an individual who wants to work as a loan officer within a larger organization.

Cost of Getting Your Mortgage License in Alabama

The NMLS will charge these fees (and remember that there are no refunds on these):

• NMLS Processing Charge: $105

• Background Checks: $36.25

• Credit Check: $15

PE Expiration Policy in Alabama

The nationwide PE expiration policy states that an MLO has to repeat their original required classes if they let their license lapse for 3+ years (or don’t finish the licensing process beyond the education step). But nobody is enforcing this in Alabama yet.

Alabama Continuing Education Requirements

Once you start working as a licensed Alabama MLO, your license can only stay valid if you take continuing education classes annually, which is one of the license renewal requirements. Classes consist of:

• Ethics: 2 hours

• Non-traditional loans: 2 hours

• Federal laws: 3 hours

• Electives: 1 hour

You’ll pay $75 to get your license renewed and $25 for reinstatement. The deadline for your annual application is December 31, although Alabama recommends turning it in by the first of November to avoid delays. At the same time, if you applied before December 31 and are still waiting for a reply, you can continue working on and after January 1 of the next year.
