Mortgage Loan Originators failed to clearly display NMLS unique identifier on social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.


The state of New Mexico Financial Institutions Division sent out a notice this week reminding licensees that the mortgage company and the licensed mortgage loan originators need to post their NMLS numbers in Facebook and the NMLS. This is not a new thing. And New Mexico’s expectations are not any different than any other state’s general requirements.

Be sure to double check that your consumers can locate in a clear and conspicuous area in the Social Media site both your company’s full company name. business address, toll free phone number and NMLS number. Also, on any page taht promotes content of a licensed Mortage Loan Originator, make sure you include all of the above plus the MLO’s individual NMLS ID number.

Think you have already done this? Why not double check your pages right now on the social media platforms you use. Stay ahead of the regulators criticism by following these simple tips.
