PE Expiration Policy in Tennessee

 

The PE expiration policy protects consumers from loan officers with out-of-date education. This policy, which is now being enforced in Tennessee, states that you must retake your 20 hours of required classes if you either:

 

1. Did not apply for your license within 3 years of taking your classes OR

2. Stopped working as a loan officer for 3 years or longer and wish to return

 

Tennessee Continuing Education Requirements

 

Your NMLS license in Tennessee must be renewed each year to be valid. The application deadline is December 31, but TN recommends turning in your renewal application by November 1, along with a renewal fee of $100.

 

Your education requirements include 8 hours of classes, split between:

 

- 3 hours on Federal regulations

- 2 hours on ethics

- 2 hours on non-standard loans

- 1 hour on electives (no TN-focused hours required)

 

If you have not completed a criminal background check in the last 3 years, you must apply for a new one. If you have not completed an NMLS credit report for 3 years, you must also authorize a new report.

 

As long as you complete and submit your application by December 31, you are authorized to work on January 1, even if your license application is still pending. However, it is wise to send in your application by November 1.
