Choose Your Utah Mortgage License Bond
The correct Utah mortgage bond depends on whether the filing is for an individual mortgage loan originator, a business entity electing to cover MLOs, a DRE mortgage entity, a DFI Residential First Mortgage Notification, a servicer, a wholesale lender, or another mortgage lender activity.

Utah 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.

Utah Mortgage Bond Requirements
Utah mortgage filings can fall under the Utah Division of Real Estate or the Utah Department of Financial Institutions. DRE generally regulates mortgage brokering and retail origination of closed-end residential first mortgages. DFI regulates certain servicing, wholesale lending, Residential First Mortgage Notification filings, and Title 70D mortgage lending activity.
Utah DFI requires proof of surety bond coverage before approving a DFI MLO application. Utah Administrative Rule R343-5 sets individual MLO bond amounts by personal Utah loan origination volume and allows eligible business entities to elect entity bond coverage for MLOs working exclusively for the entity.

Utah Mortgage Bond Amounts
Utah uses separate schedules for individual mortgage loan originator bond coverage and optional business entity MLO coverage.
Individual Mortgage Loan Originator Bond Amounts
| Individual Utah Origination Volume | Required Bond Amount | Jet Monthly Price | Jet 1-Year Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to $5,000,000 | $12,500 | $8 | $79 |
| $5,000,000 to $15,000,000 | $25,000 | $13 | $125 |
| Over $15,000,000 | $50,000 | $25 | $249 |

| Up to $10,000,000 | $25,000 | $13 | $125 |

| Over $30,000,000 | $100,000 | $50 | $499 |
Volume note: Utah measures individual bond amounts by the individual MLO’s prior-year Utah loan origination volume. Entity coverage uses the business entity’s prior-year Utah residential mortgage loan origination volume. Confirm whether a new applicant uses minimum coverage, projected volume, or another checklist instruction.
Utah Mortgage Loan Originator Bond
The Utah Mortgage Loan Originator Bond applies to individual MLOs who must provide proof of surety bond coverage under Utah Administrative Rule R343-5. The required amount is based on the individual’s prior-year Utah residential mortgage loan origination volume.
License Type
Utah Mortgage Loan Originator License.
Bond Limits
$12,500, $25,000, or $50,000 based on individual Utah loan volume.
Starting Price
$79 for one year for the $12,500 bond.
Use this option when the Utah or NMLS checklist references individual Mortgage Loan Originator Bond, MLO surety bond, DFI MLO proof of coverage, or individual MLO coverage under Utah Administrative Rule R343-5.
Utah Business Entity MLO Coverage Bond
Utah allows qualified business entities to elect surety bond coverage for mortgage loan originators working exclusively for the entity instead of each MLO providing a separate individual bond. The business entity bond must cover the activities of the licensed MLO and the amount is based on the entity’s prior-year Utah residential mortgage loan origination volume.
Coverage Type
Business entity bond coverage for exclusive MLOs.
Bond Limits
$25,000, $50,000, or $100,000 based on entity Utah loan volume.
Starting Price
$125 for one year or $13 monthly for the $25,000 bond.
Use this option when the Utah or NMLS checklist references entity bond coverage, business entity surety bond, company coverage for MLOs, or employer bond coverage under Utah Administrative Rule R343-5.
Utah DRE Mortgage Entity Bond Guidance
Utah DRE mortgage entity filings apply to mortgage companies, DBAs, and branches regulated by the Utah Division of Real Estate. DRE states that mortgage companies and DBAs must create a registration in NMLS and complete the MU1 and MU2 forms, and branch offices file MU3 through NMLS.
A DRE mortgage entity may still need MLO bond coverage if it elects to cover sponsored or exclusive MLOs through a business entity bond. Confirm the current DRE and NMLS checklist before ordering a company bond.
Filing Type
DRE Mortgage Entity License, DBA, or Branch.
Bond Treatment
Confirm whether the entity is electing company MLO bond coverage.
Common Coverage
$25,000, $50,000, or $100,000 for eligible business entity MLO coverage.
Utah DFI Residential First Mortgage Notification Bond Guidance
The Utah DFI Residential First Mortgage Notification is primarily for mortgage servicers, wholesale lenders, and mortgage lenders under Utah Title 70D. Utah DFI states that the RFMN does not authorize a company to broker or originate retail closed-end residential first mortgages; DRE requirements may apply to those activities.
DFI MLO applicants must provide proof of surety bond coverage under Utah Administrative Rule R343-5. That proof may be an individual MLO bond or confirmation of coverage under an employer’s company bond when eligible.
Filing Type
Utah DFI Residential First Mortgage Notification.
Common Activity
Servicing, wholesale lending, or Title 70D mortgage lending.
Bond Coverage
Individual MLO coverage or eligible entity MLO coverage if required.

If a Utah servicer or wholesale lender has individuals who need DFI MLO licensing, proof of surety bond coverage under Utah Administrative Rule R343-5 may be required before approval. Coverage can be individual or employer-provided when eligible.
Activity Type
Mortgage servicing, wholesale lending, or Title 70D mortgage lending.
Regulator
Utah Department of Financial Institutions.

$12,500 to $100,000 depending on individual or entity coverage and Utah volume.

Utah MLO, mortgage entity, mortgage company, servicer, wholesale lender, or RFMN coverage.
Common Bond Limits
$12,500, $25,000, $50,000, or $100,000 depending on coverage type.
Starting Price
$79 for one year for a $12,500 bond or $125 for one year for a $25,000 bond.
Use this option when the Utah or NMLS requirement references mortgage broker, mortgage lender, mortgage servicer, MLO coverage, entity coverage, DRE, DFI, RFMN, or combined mortgage activity rather than a narrower bond title.
Utah Mortgage Bond Comparison
Utah mortgage bond requirements depend on the regulator, license type, individual or business entity coverage election, and Utah residential mortgage loan origination volume.

Questions? Call (855) 516-3348 or email [email protected].
How Are Utah Mortgage Bonds Filed?
Utah mortgage filings commonly use NMLS, but the final bond filing method depends on the regulator and coverage type. Utah DFI states that before approving a DFI MLO application, it must receive proof of surety bond coverage, either through a copy of the individual bond or confirmation of coverage under the employer’s company bond.
The bond should match the legal name, individual or entity name, NMLS ID, regulator, coverage type, bond amount, effective date, Utah loan volume, and any employer or exclusive-agent coverage details shown on the Utah checklist.
NMLS Filing
DRE mortgage companies, DBAs, and branches file through NMLS. DFI mortgage licenses and notifications also use NMLS.
Proof of Coverage
DFI MLO applicants may need to email proof of individual bond coverage or employer company bond coverage to DFI before approval.
Bond Changes
Contact Jet before changing the legal name, DBA, NMLS ID, regulator, bond amount, coverage type, Utah loan volume, or MLO sponsorship.
Utah Mortgage Bond Renewals, Changes, and Cancellations
Renewing Your Bond
Review the bond before renewal to confirm the legal name, NMLS ID, regulator, coverage type, Utah origination volume, and bond amount. Individual and entity bond amounts may change when prior-year Utah loan volume changes.
Changing the Bond
A bond change may be required if Utah loan volume, legal name, DBA, NMLS record, regulator, MLO sponsorship, employer coverage, or business entity coverage election changes.
Cancelling or Replacing Your Bond
Do not cancel a required Utah mortgage bond until replacement coverage is accepted or the regulator confirms the license, notification, or MLO record no longer requires coverage.
What Does a Utah Mortgage License Bond Cover?
A Utah mortgage loan originator bond supports compliance with Utah mortgage lending activity and may reimburse the state for expenses it incurs in connection with an administrative or judicial proceeding against a current or former licensee relating to mortgage lending activity in Utah. Business entity coverage must cover the activities of licensed mortgage loan originators working exclusively for the entity.
The bond is not insurance for the bonded MLO, mortgage company, business entity, servicer, lender, or broker. 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 Utah Mortgage Bond Claims
- Maintain continuous bond coverage for the correct Utah MLO, business entity, DRE mortgage entity, DFI notification, servicer, wholesale lender, or broker/lender/servicer requirement.
- Match the bond to the exact legal name, individual name, entity name, NMLS ID, regulator, bond amount, and effective date.
- Confirm whether the filing is regulated by Utah DRE, Utah DFI, or both before ordering the bond.
- Use the correct prior-year Utah origination volume to determine individual MLO bond amounts.
- Use the correct prior-year Utah entity origination volume to determine business entity MLO coverage bond amounts.
- Confirm whether MLOs are working exclusively for the entity before relying on entity bond coverage.
- Do not conduct Utah mortgage origination, brokering, servicing, wholesale lending, or MLO activity without the correct license, notification, sponsorship, and bond coverage.
- Do not advertise or represent loan terms in a false, misleading, or deceptive way.
- Maintain required loan files, disclosures, advertising records, supervision records, branch records, complaint records, and NMLS filings.
- Submit license amendments, DBA changes, branch filings, PLM changes, renewals, bond updates, and NMLS updates on time.
- Maintain any required principal lending manager, branch lending manager, entity license, trade name license, or DFI notification requirement in addition to surety bond coverage.
- Contact Jet before cancelling, replacing, or changing the bond.
