Wyoming exempt company registration bonds.
$150 flat.
A company that is exempt from Wyoming mortgage lender or broker licensing but sponsors one or more mortgage loan originators still has to register on the NMLS and post a $25,000 surety bond with the Wyoming Division of Banking — ours is $150 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price.

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.

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 $25,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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
Upload to NMLS. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email as an e-surety filing ready to attach to your NMLS exempt company registration or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $150 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
