In Arizona, mortgage loan originators (MLOs) who work for non-bank lenders must be licensed under:

AOnly Arizona real estate license law, via ADRE's combined licensing
BThe SAFE Act and be registered in the NMLS (Nationwide Multistate Licensing System & Registry)Correct
COnly federal banking regulators, since the CFPB exclusively supervises non-bank lenders
DThe NAR Accredited Mortgage Professional program

Why The SAFE Act and be registered in the NMLS (Nationwide Multistate Licensing System & Registry) Is Correct

Answer B: The SAFE Act and be registered in the NMLS (Nationwide Multistate Licensing System & Registry)

The SAFE Mortgage Licensing Act requires mortgage loan originators at non-bank entities (mortgage companies) to be state-licensed through NMLS. MLOs at federally regulated banks (banks, thrifts, credit unions) must be NMLS-registered.
