Alaska Mortgage Licensing
Alaska was the last state to implement mortgage company licensing. They required companies to hold a license by July 1, 2008 if they did not hold an Alaska Business License prior to that date. They then required all mortgage companies with a business license prior to July 1, 2008 to obtain the new Mortgage Lender License by April 1, 2009. The new mortgage license is for brokers and lenders/bankers. It requires completion of a test, fingerprints, surety bond, and additional documentation on the company and its owners.
