NMLS has posted information on their website about getting fingerprints...one of the necessary steps in the process of obtaining a mortgage originator license in compliance with the SAFE Act.
Fingerprints will be submitted to the FBI in order to conduct a criminal background check. Results of the check will be attached to each mortgage loan originator's NMLS record.
The fee is $39 for a live scan (electronic) capture, or $49 (or more) for paper card capture. Live scan and paper card locations can be selected from a list of vendors during the process of registering for fingerprinting.
Live scan is recommended by NMLS over paper card capture because it costs less, can be scheduled more quickly, requires fewer steps, and results in fewer unreadable prints, which presumably require a do-over.
