Section 30. License application procedure

A. License applications shall be submitted through the registry in accordance with instructions from the registry and the bureau. In connection with such license applications, the applicant shall furnish the registry with all required information concerning his identity, personal history and experience, and fingerprints, and shall pay or cause to be paid through the registry required registry fees and a license application fee of $150.

B. Within five days after submitting a license application through the registry, a bond with corporate surety on a commission-approved form and in an amount conforming to 10VAC5-161-50 shall be filed with the bureau, together with such further information as the bureau may require concerning the applicant's qualifications for licensure. In the case of individuals described in 10VAC5-161-20 A 1 and 2, the bond shall be filed (or documentation shall be filed indicating that the applicant is covered by a bond previously filed) by the person for whom the applicant will engage in the business of a mortgage loan originator. Filing of a bond under this subsection by a person licensed under Chapter 16 shall constitute compliance with § 6.2-1604 of the Code of Virginia if the bond is in the amount required under § 6.2-1604 of the Code of Virginia. In the case of individuals described in 10VAC5-161-20 A 3, the bond shall be filed by the individual applicant. In either case the person filing the bond shall, unless such information is contained in a prior filing under Chapter 16, simultaneously provide information to the bureau concerning the dollar volume of residential mortgage loans originated by such person during the immediately preceding calendar year.

C. If the bureau requests information to complete a deficient license application and the information is not received within 60 days of the bureau's request, the license application shall be deemed abandoned unless a request for an extension of time is received and approved by the bureau prior to the expiration of the 60-day period. However, this provision shall not be construed to prohibit the commission from denying a license application that does not meet the requirements of Chapter 17 or this chapter.
