A small reprieve was offered to Florida mortgage professionals by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (OFR) at the end of December. New legislation requires all Florida mortgage professionals apply for a new operating license under the National Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS). Two days before the deadline, the OFR announced any industry professional who filed an application for a new license in NMLS by December 31 could have until March 31, 2011 to complete the application.

The Florida Office of Financial Regulation (OFR) sent a notice earlier this month to mortgage professionals warning them that they may be out of work at the first of the year if they fail to submit required applications. The new Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System contains more stringent requirements and all industry licensees including individuals, companies, and branch offices, are required to re-apply under it by no later than December 31, 2010.
