According to the National Mortgage Licensing System, “all persons who originate a mortgage or offer to originate a mortgage” are required to be licensed in order to conduct business in the State of Colorado. Filing a surety bond is a critical component of the license application process. The Colorado Mortgage Originators Bond ensures financial compensation for valid claims of fraud, forgery, criminal impersonation, or fraudulent representation by the loan originator.
Before receiving a license to be a loan originator, an applicant must post surety bond in an amount prescribed by the Board of Mortgage Loan Originators. The surety bond may be held by the individual mortgage loan originator or may be in the name of the company by which the mortgage loan originator is employed.
The bond is continuous in nature; therefore, it remains in full force and effect until cancelled. The bond may be cancelled at any time by notice to the Board within 30 days of the effective cancellation date.
All fees are required by the obligee, not the Surety Company.
