Note: The company form (corporate location) must request a new application prior to the submission of a branch form. In order to perform Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) activities from a branch office, the applicant must have been issued either a real estate broker license or a real estate corporation license by DRE. In addition, licensed brokers or corporations which intend to perform MLO licensed activities from a branch office must first have a properly issued branch office license issued by DRE. Fees- $20 NMLS processing fee. Fees collected through the NMLS ARE NOT REFUNDABLE. For further information regarding fees, please visit the DRE website. Unlike the underlying real estate license, a branch license endorsement which is issued prior to October 31st, of each year will be valid through December 31, and will need to be renewed annually thereafter, if desired. A branch license endorsement which is issued on or after November 1 will be valid through December 31 of the following year.
