Michigan Continuing

What are Michigan’s requirements for MLO Continuing Education?

  • 3 hours of Federal Law

For more information about Michigan MLO education, please visit our Michigan Mortgage Loan Officer Training page. 

How do I contact Michigan Mortgage Licensing?

To contact Michigan Mortgage Licensing, you can call or email the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services. 

What happens if my NMLS license expires in Michigan?

If you miss the deadline for mortgage license renewal or any Michigan CE courses, your license will become inactive until you reapply for renewal and finish your CE. If you have questions about expired licenses or late renewals, please contact the NMLS Call Center at 855-665-7123. 

 

To make sure your license never expires and stays active so that you can continue working in the mortgage industry, make sure that you never miss your deadline for CE. You can take a Late CE Course if you have not yet completed your CE and the deadline is approaching. 

 

If your NMLS license expires in Michigan, it means that your license was inactive for a period of five years or longer. When this happens, if you choose to re-enter the mortgage industry, you will need to apply for reinstatement. You will have to retake your test and take any Late CE Course that you need.



What is the deadline to complete CE in Michigan?

According to the NMLS, the date that you are guaranteed to miss your Michigan CE requirements deadline is December 31. This is also the deadline for submitting your application for license renewal. If you complete your Michigan MLO Continuing Education on this date, you will not make the deadline because your CE course providers are given seven days to send course completion records to the NMLS. 

 

You must make sure that your records are in the database before you can renew your license. Follow these guidelines published by the NMLS to ensure you renew your license on time:

  • SMART Renewal Deadline: December 10
  • At-Risk Deadline: December 17
  • Guaranteed Missed Deadline: December 31
