Posted by Anthony Demangone
If you've read our blog over the past few years, you'll know how much we love FAQ guidance documents. Â Well, here's another one to add to the list. Â A SAFE Act FAQ.Â
The NMLS Registry posted the guidance document on Friday. Â There's a ton of good stuff here. Â Be sure to pass this along to your SAFE Act administrator. Here's a taste:
Q. An MLOâÂÂs fingerprints came back as âÂÂillegibleâÂÂ.  Do I need to repay the criminal background check fee to schedule a new appointment?
A. No.  The criminal background check fee covers the collection and submission of a second set of fingerprints if the first set is deemed illegible by the FBI.  If the second set of fingerprints is deemed illegible, the MLO does not need to submit a third set of prints.  Rather, the FBI will attempt to locate any pertinent criminal history record information using the MLOâÂÂs name and demographic information provided in the MU4R.
