With respect to Regulation G of the SAFE Act, is there a requirement for providing an NMLS number of a Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) number on an advertisement piece? Appreciate any guidance, but my belief is that it is not required.

We put it on MLO-specific ads because it is the first "communication" between the MLO and the prospective customer.

Thanks for the guidance,

It is not required to be in advertisements.

From the final rule

While, this provision does not require institutions
to include the unique identifier on loan
program descriptions, advertisements,
business cards, stationary, notepads,
and other similar materials, institutions
are not prohibited from doing so.

Thanks so much. Would you happen to have the link to the final rule?

Just click on the "Read-a-Reg" icon in the upper right hand corner under the Bankers Threads title!

Also, be sure to review your own state's version of SAFE since some states did write rules slightly more restrictive than the federal rules.
