Correct answer: The SAFE Act requires all MLOs — both licensed and registered — to include their NMLS Unique Identifier on residential loan application forms and consumer solicitation materials, including marketing emails

The SAFE Act requires all MLOs — whether licensed state MLOs or registered depository institution MLOs — to include their NMLS Unique Identifier on residential mortgage loan application forms and consumer solicitation and advertising materials. The NMLS ID requirement is not limited to loan documents; it extends to any materials used to solicit consumer mortgage business, including marketing emails. The distinction between registered and licensed MLOs affects education and examination requirements, not the NMLS ID disclosure obligation. The presence or absence of specific loan terms (like rates) does not create an exception to the NMLS ID requirement.
