Article Summary: This article will help anyone looking for information pertaining to a mortgage license in the state of Virginia or anyone looking to become a mortgage broker in Virginia.



The Commonwealth of Virginia regulates Mortgage Brokers through the Bureau of Financial Institutions. The requirements to become a Mortgage Broker in Virginia are the same as those for becoming a Mortgage Lender. In Virginia, anyone who acts as a Mortgage Broker, even for only one loan, needs to have a Mortgage Broker License.


A non-refundable application fee in the amount of $500.00 needs to be paid with the application, along with providing a Surety Bond in the amount of $25,000.00. Current Financial Statements (less than 90 days old) and personal information need to be provided for each applicant, along with an Employment and Business Affiliation Disclosure form.

One unique feature of Virginia Mortgage Broker Licenses is they do not have expiration dates and remain in effect until surrendered, suspended, or revoked. However, an Annual Report and current financial statements do need to be provided.
