About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Wyoming's Residential Mortgage Practices Act requires a mortgage lender or broker licensee to maintain a surety bond that covers the individual loan originators it employs or contracts with, and the Wyoming Division of Banking extends that same $25,000 bond framework to a company that is exempt from lender or broker licensing — for example a licensed Supervised Lender — but still sponsors mortgage loan originators through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS). Wyoming's licensing-and-renewal guidance groups an Exempt Registration alongside a Mortgage Lender/Broker or Broker license and puts all three on the same annual renewal cycle.

It's a three-party arrangement: your company (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Wyoming through the Division of Banking (the obligee), with the loan originators you sponsor — and the borrowers they serve — as the protected interest. If a sponsored loan originator violates the Act, a rule adopted under it, or applicable federal mortgage lending law and damages a borrower, a valid claim is paid out of the bond up to its full $25,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for your company — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond is filed electronically through NMLS and has to stay active for as long as you sponsor an originator, so plan your renewal around the Division's November 1 – December 31 annual renewal window; we track your term and send notices ahead of expiration.

W.S. 40-23-110Wyoming Statutes § 40-23-110, part of the Wyoming Residential Mortgage Practices Act, requires a licensee to maintain a surety bond issued by a surety authorized to do business in Wyoming, used to cover the individual loan originators it employs or contracts with; if a licensee or a sponsored originator violates the Act, a rule adopted under it, or federal mortgage lending law and damages a person, the bond is forfeited and paid to the State of Wyoming for that person's benefit, up to the full bond amount. The Wyoming Division of Banking's own licensing-and-renewal guidance lists an Exempt Registration on the same NMLS renewal cycle — November 1 through December 31 each year — as a Mortgage Lender/Broker or Broker License, and requires the bond and registration to be filed through the NMLS. Confirm your exact exempt-registrant category and bond requirement with the Division of Banking before you file.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Wyoming exempt company registration bond?The premium is $150 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every exempt registrant. The $25,000 bond amount is fixed, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $150. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against a sponsored loan originator's conduct — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many applicants finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, so most applicants approve instantly. If a check ever runs on this bond, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.
Who counts as an "exempt company" here?It's a company that isn't separately licensed as a Wyoming mortgage lender or broker — a licensed Supervised Lender is the common example — but that sponsors mortgage loan originators through the NMLS. The Wyoming Division of Banking still requires those originators to be covered by a company bond, filed as an exempt registration rather than a full lender/broker license.
