Let’s explore the MLO license education requirements in Iowa. Aspiring MLO’s in Iowa must complete 20 hours of NMLS-approved education. This comprehensive education encompasses 3 hours of federal law, 3 hours of ethics (addressing fraud, consumer protection, and fair lending), 2 hours of non-traditional mortgage lending, and 12 hours of elective education.
Iowa does not impose any additional state-specific pre-licensing education requirements beyond the initial 20 hours of SAFE education. Once you complete the 20 hours of SAFE education, you are ready to take your exam without needing any further education.
Alongside completing pre-licensing education, you must pass the National MLO Exam and undergo a criminal background check to obtain licensing. Make use of the NMLS-provided Iowa MLO Application Checklist to guide you through the application process.
