Section 2201-14.0 - License Applications

14.1 The Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry, as the multistate automated licensing system in which the Commissioner is participating pursuant to 5 Del.C. § 2213A, is authorized to act on behalf of the Commissioner to facilitate the application and licensing processes of 5 Del.C. Ch. 22 as to persons that employ, or have affiliated, a mortgage loan originator as defined by 5 Del.C. Ch. 24, and in that capacity, the System may, with respect to those persons:

14.1.1 process licensing applications;

14.1.2 collect licensing payments;

14.1.3 submit fingerprints and any other information required for a criminal history background check to the Federal Bureau of Investigation or other law-enforcement agency;

14.1.4 receive information and maintain records related to applicants and licensees; and

14.1.5 share information it maintains regarding applicants and licensees subject to the System with any other state participating in the System, if that state could have obtained that same information directly from the applicant or licensee under its own law for the purpose of licensing, regulating, or supervising that same applicant or licensee under a statute similar to 5 Del.C. Ch 22.

14.2 Any person seeking an initial or renewal license to engage in a business that requires a license under 5 Del.C. Ch 22 shall submit the appropriate application and fees to the Commissioner through the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry when that person employs, or has affiliated, a mortgage loan originator as defined by 5 Del.C. Ch 24. All other persons shall submit applications for licenses under 5 Del.C. Ch 22 directly to the Commissioner.

14.3 All applications shall contain such information, and be submitted on such forms and in such manner as the Commissioner may designate. The Commissioner may change and update application forms as the Commissioner deems appropriate. The Commissioner may also require additional information in connection with any particular application.

14.4 All applications, whether for a main company location or a branch location, must be submitted with the investigation fee of $250, the annual license fee of $250, and, if applicable, the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry processing fee of $100 (main company location) or $20 (branch location) (or such other amount as the System may charge). The Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry processing fee and the investigation fee are non-refundable.

14.5 No application shall be deemed complete until the Commissioner has received all required information, documents and fees.

14.6 If the Commissioner determines that an application is incomplete, the Commissioner shall send written notification to the applicant indicating the items that must be addressed to continue the application review process. If the Commissioner does not receive a complete response fully addressing all such items within 30 days after sending that notice, the Commissioner may consider the application withdrawn.

14.7 Any person seeking an initial license following withdrawal of an application shall submit a new application that includes all information, documents and fees required for an initial license.
