Mortgage Call Reports Commence

The NMLS Mortgage Call Report (MCR) filing will now be required, commencing with the first calendar quarter of 2011. It will be fully activated on the NMLSR website in April. 

The SAFE Act requires:

"mortgage licensees to submit reports of condition to the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry in such form and containing such information as the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry may require." 

Under the SAFE Act, each individual loan originator licensee must submit a mortgage call report to the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLSR) as a condition of licensure. 

According to the SAFE Act, a "mortgage call report" is a statement of condition of a mortgage company and its operations, including financial statements and production volumes.
