Exam Tip
Virginia licensing questions test Registry filing, $150 application fee, bond timing, 20-hour PE, 75 percent SAFE test, retake and 5-year retest rules, 8-hour CE, calendar-year expiration, $100 renewal, and financial-responsibility limits.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- -Using generic federal mortgage facts when Virginia Code, Virginia Administrative Code, SCC/BFI, or NMLS state-specific rules are being tested
- -Confusing Virginia individual MLO licensing or sponsorship with mortgage lender, broker, branch, remote-location, or company requirements
- -Treating Virginia bond, record, advertising, disclosure, lock-in, escrow, reporting, or enforcement requirements as optional
