Types of Mortgage Licenses in Oklahoma

There are three major state license types in Oklahoma: Company, Branch, and Individual. Each license type depends on the work you are going to perform.

Most Common Company Licenses

  • Mortgage Lender License - allows entities to take residential mortgage loan applications, as well as make and/or service residential mortgage loans.
