OFIS Announces New Mortgage License Application Workshops

The Office of Financial and Insurance Services (OFIS) today announced that mortgage license application workshops have been scheduled for persons intending to go into business as mortgage brokers, lenders, or servicers.

OFIS Commissioner Linda A. Watters said, "These workshops are an integral part of the effort to streamline the mortgage license application process. I hope all mortgage license applicants will take advantage of these workshops."

These workshops will:

• give basic requirements of a mortgage licensee
• give applicants information to choose the appropriate application form
• show the differences between licensing and registration
• provide specific instructions for completing the application form.

Time will be allowed at each workshop for questions and answers.

Monthly opportunities to attend a workshop will begin in November at the Ottawa Building located in Lansing at 611 W. Ottawa, Room 3 in the Upper Level (UP) in half-day sessions.

Registration, future workshop dates, and directions to the session are available on the OFIS website at www.michigan.gov/ofis.

Currently Scheduled Workshop Dates:

• Tuesday, November 1, 2005
• Thursday, December 1, 2005
