A compliance manager compares company policy with Wyoming requirements during a disciplinary-risk review. Which statement fits licensing and NMLS authority?
Correct Answer
B) Wyoming mortgage company authority may include broker, lender, banker, servicer, or related residential mortgage activities as defined by state law or regulator guidance.
Wyoming mortgage company authority may include broker, lender, banker, servicer, or related residential mortgage activities as defined by state law or regulator guidance.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Wyoming mortgage company authority may include broker, lender, banker, servicer, or related residential mortgage activities as defined by state law or regulator guidance.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Wyoming: A company license automatically authorizes every branch and individual MLO without separate state or NMLS conditions.
This choice conflicts with the official Wyoming or NMLS rule tested by the item.
Option C: Wyoming: Mortgage company applications, amendments, and renewals never use NMLS unless a federal agency asks for it.
This choice overstates, understates, or misroutes the Wyoming state-law, regulator, or NMLS requirement.
Option D: Wyoming: State company licensing rules do not matter if the company only advertises or brokering is done online.
This choice ignores the Wyoming controlling source condition that controls the licensing, scope, sponsor, bond, record, conduct, advertising, servicing, or enforcement scenario.
