florida state requirements for 3rd party processing companies

The majority of our partners that utilize 3rd Party Processing are companies in the Midwest and Florida.  We want to clearly list our requirements in Florida:

• The individual contract process must have submitted to the state a Form OFR-494-13 (Declaration of Intent to Engage Solely in Loan Processing Form) and provide us with a copy.
• The individual contract processor must be personally registered with the FL Secretary of State or have a business registered with the Secretary of State (The business is not required to have a NMLS ID).  The business must be active.
• The individual contract processor must be a licensed LO in the state of Florida (see FL requirements below – directly off the LO licensing checklist in NMLS for Florida).
