Washington State has a new law requiring lenders to be licensed under the Consumer Loan Company Law. The law becomes effective on June 12, 2008. The license permits, lending, funding, brokering, or loan origination services to Washington consumers or others with Washington real property. The applicant needs to provide a financial statement, a surety bond of $100,000.00 per office location (up to a total of $500,000.00) and principals of the company must submit to criminal and credit background checks.
As of May 1, 2008, all lenders must apply for the license through the Nationwide Mortgage License System. Washington State will not be accepting paper applications anymore.
