What must a MLO do to renew their license in Hawaii?

To renew their license in Hawaii, a Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) is required to complete continuing education and pay the necessary renewal fee. Continuing education ensures that MLOs stay updated on current laws, regulations, and best practices within the mortgage industry, which is vital for maintaining competency and providing informed service to clients.

Renewing the license through continuing education reflects the ongoing professional development standard set by regulatory bodies, ensuring that MLOs are equipped with the latest knowledge needed to operate effectively. Additionally, the renewal fee is a standard requirement that supports the administrative costs of maintaining the licensing system.

The other options presented are not applicable for renewal. Pre-licensing education is intended for initial licensure, not renewal. Creating a new business plan is not a licensing requirement, and passing the NMLS national exam again is also not necessary for renewal, as MLOs are assessed through their continued education rather than retaking exams.
