Choose Your Mississippi Mortgage License Bond
The correct Mississippi mortgage bond depends on whether the company is licensed as a mortgage broker, mortgage lender, mortgage servicer, or a combined mortgage company. Initial applicants use the statutory initial bond amount. Renewal bond amounts are based on Mississippi residential mortgage loan volume from the prior licensing or calendar year.
Mortgage Broker Bond
For Mississippi mortgage broker companies that originate or broker Mississippi residential mortgage loans.
Initial bond limit: $50,000
Renewal bond limits: $25,000, $35,000, or $50,000 based on Mississippi residential mortgage loan volume
Starting price: $125 for one year for a $25,000 renewal bond or $249 for one year for the $50,000 initial bond.
Mortgage Lender Bond
For Mississippi mortgage lenders and companies licensed to originate, broker, fund, service, and/or own Mississippi residential mortgage loans.
Initial bond limit: $250,000
Renewal bond limits: $150,000, $200,000, or $250,000 based on Mississippi residential mortgage loan volume

Common bond path: Mortgage lender bond schedule when servicing is included
Common bond limits: $150,000 to $250,000 for renewals; $250,000 for initial lender applicants
Mortgage Loan Originator Bond Coverage
Mississippi requires each mortgage loan originator to be covered by a surety bond. When the MLO is an employee or independent contractor of a licensed company, the company bond may be used in place of an individual MLO bond requirement.
Common coverage: Covered by the licensed mortgage broker or mortgage lender company bond
Company bond limits: $50,000 broker initial bond or $250,000 lender initial bond, with renewal amounts based on volume
Important: Mississippi loan originators must be W-2 employees or exclusively engaged to perform loan origination activities for a Mississippi-licensed company. Confirm whether the MLO is covered through the company bond before requesting separate bond coverage.
Mississippi Mortgage License Bond Pricing
Jet pricing below follows the same mortgage bond pricing method used on the other state pages, with a $79 minimum one-year premium. The one-year price is generally 0.5% of the bond limit. If the calculated one-year price ends in zero, Jet subtracts $1 before calculating multi-year options. The two-year price is 1.75 times the one-year price, and the three-year price is 2.5 times the one-year price. Monthly pricing is 10% of the one-year price, rounded when needed.

How Are Mississippi Mortgage Bonds Filed?
Mississippi mortgage licensing is handled through NMLS. The bond should match the company’s legal name, NMLS ID, license type, bond amount, and effective date. The Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance should be treated as the regulator and obligee for Mississippi mortgage bond filings.
Jet can provide the required bond document or electronic filing guidance after purchase. Before ordering, confirm the company or individual legal name, NMLS ID, license type, bond amount, effective date, and whether the bond must be completed as an Electronic Surety Bond in NMLS.
NMLS Filing
The bond should match the legal name, NMLS ID, Mississippi license record, and required bond amount.
MLO Coverage
Confirm whether MLOs are covered by the licensed company bond before purchasing separate coverage.
Bond Changes
Contact Jet before changing the legal name, DBA, NMLS ID, bond amount, broker volume, lender volume, servicer activity, or MLO sponsorship.
Mississippi Mortgage Bond Renewals, Changes, and Cancellations
Renewing Your Bond
Keep the Mississippi mortgage bond active for as long as the license requires coverage. Review the bond before renewal to confirm the legal name, NMLS ID, license type, MLO coverage, broker volume, lender volume, and bond amount remain correct.
Changing the Bond
A bond change may be needed when the company changes its legal name, DBA, NMLS ID, bond amount, mortgage authority, broker volume, lender volume, servicer activity, or MLO sponsorship structure.
Cancelling or Replacing Your Bond
Do not cancel a required Mississippi mortgage bond until replacement coverage is accepted or the license no longer requires coverage. A bond gap can create licensing and NMLS problems.
What Does a Mississippi Mortgage License Bond Cover?
A Mississippi mortgage license bond is designed to protect the public and the state regulator, not the bonded mortgage company or mortgage loan originator. The bond is in favor of the State of Mississippi for the use, benefit, and indemnity of persons who suffer damage or loss due to the company’s breach of contract, obligation arising from the contract, or violation of law. The bond also supports payment of civil penalties, criminal fines, and costs of investigation or prosecution incurred by the State of Mississippi and local law enforcement agencies.
The bond also provides the surety coverage required for covered mortgage loan originators when the company bond is used in place of an individual MLO bond requirement.
A surety bond is different from insurance for the bonded party. If Jet pays a valid claim, the bonded principal is responsible for reimbursing Jet for the amount paid and related costs under the indemnity agreement.
How to Avoid Mississippi Mortgage Bond Claims
- Maintain continuous bond coverage for the correct Mississippi mortgage broker, mortgage lender, servicer, or MLO coverage requirement.
- Match the bond to the exact legal name, DBA, NMLS ID, license type, and required bond amount.
- Use the correct initial bond amount for a new Mississippi mortgage broker or mortgage lender application.
- Use the correct Mississippi residential mortgage loan volume to determine the renewal bond amount.
- Confirm whether MLOs are covered by the company bond before purchasing separate coverage.
- Do not conduct Mississippi mortgage business without the correct license or exemption.
- Do not advertise or represent loan terms in a misleading way.
- Do not charge unauthorized or prohibited fees.
- Maintain required books, records, journal of mortgage transactions, mortgage call reports, renewals, and consumer disclosures.
- Keep company, branch, servicer, sponsorship, remote work, and MLO information current in NMLS.
- Contact Jet before cancelling, replacing, or changing the bond.
