How long after taking the state exam will I be notified of passing?
Official results will be sent by mail approximately 5 days after your exam.
I received a letter from the department stating I haven't completed my education for the license even though I took your course, why is that?
We submit the education results to DFS before seventy-two (72) hours after the course finishes. DFS policy is to process the application with the background check. The background check takes longer than the application and submission of education results. Until the background check is completed and all documents are processed together, DFS will automatically send out letters of deficiency. DFS reports to us not to worry about the education requirement so long as you have completed the (24) hours in the classroom.
How long after passing the state exam will I receive my license?
Your license will be sent by mail approximately 30 days after passing the state exam and providing your course completion certificate.

Your mortgage broker license must be renewed every 2 years. The renewal period begins September 1st of odd numbered years.
What is the cost to renew the License?
The cost to renew is $150.00.
