Effective 1-10-14 you need to include the NMLS # on the credit application, the note/loan contract and the security instrument.
The SAFE Act requires that a registered MLO must provide the NMLS# upon request, before acting as a mortgage loan originator, and through the originator’s initial written communication with a consumer, if any, whether on paper or electronically (that could mean a business card, letter, email, etc.). And Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have their own requirements for inclusion of the NMLS#.
