About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the mortgage company bond guarantees

Nevada licenses mortgage companies and mortgage loan originators under NRS Chapter 645B, administered by the Commissioner at the Division of Mortgage Lending. NRS 645B.042 requires each mortgage company to deposit with the Commissioner, and keep in full force and effect, a corporate surety bond payable to the State of Nevada.

The bond names as principals both the mortgage company and all mortgage loan originators employed by or associated with it — one bond covers the shop. The amount is set by annual loan production: $50,000 up to $20,000,000, and $75,000 above $20,000,000.

It stands behind your compliance with Chapter 645B — the licensing, disclosure, trust-account, and advertising rules that protect Nevada borrowers and investors. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

NRS 645B.042Section 645B.042 of the Nevada Revised Statutes requires a mortgage company to deposit with the Commissioner and keep in full force and effect a corporate surety bond payable to the State of Nevada, naming as principals the mortgage company and all mortgage loan originators employed by or associated with it. The required amount is set by annual loan production — $50,000 for production up to $20,000,000 and $75,000 for production over $20,000,000. Confirm your required amount on your Division of Mortgage Lending or NMLS notice.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File through NMLS. Upload the executed bond to your NMLS mortgage company record for the Nevada Division of Mortgage Lending. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is 0.6% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $250,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
