the applicant, and any other names, dates of birth, or social security
numbers previously used by the applicant, unless waived by the
director;

partner or principal of the association, and any other names, dates of
birth, or social security numbers previously used by the members,
unless waived by the director;
(c) If the applicant is a corporation, the name, address, date of
birth, and social security number of each officer, director, registered
agent, and each principal stockholder, and any other names, dates of
birth, or social security numbers previously used by the officers,
directors, registered agents, and principal stockholders unless waived
by the director;
(d) The street address, county, and municipality where the
principal business office is to be located;
(e) The name, address, date of birth, and social security number of
the applicant's designated broker, and any other names, dates of birth,

authorized law enforcement officer; and
(f) Such other information regarding the applicant's or designated
broker's background, financial responsibility, experience, character,
and general fitness as the director may require by rule.
(2) As a part of or in connection with an application for any
license under this section, or periodically upon license renewal, the
applicant shall furnish information concerning his or her identity,
including fingerprints for submission to the Washington state patrol,
the federal bureau of investigation, the nationwide mortgage licensing
system and registry, or any governmental agency or entity authorized to
receive this information for a state and national criminal history
background check; personal history; experience; business record;
purposes; and other pertinent facts, as the director may reasonably
require. As part of or in connection with an application for a license
under this chapter, the director is authorized to receive criminal
history record information that includes nonconviction data as defined
in RCW 10.97.030. The department may only disseminate nonconviction
data obtained under this section to criminal justice agencies. This
section does not apply to financial institutions regulated under
chapters 31.12 and 31.13 RCW and Titles 30, 32, and 33 RCW.
(3) In order to reduce the points of contact which the federal
bureau of investigation may have to maintain, the director may use the
nationwide mortgage licensing system and registry as a channeling agent
for requesting information from and distributing information to the
department of justice or any governmental agency.
(4) In order to reduce the points of contact which the director may
have to maintain, the director may use the nationwide mortgage
licensing system and registry as a channeling agent for requesting and
distributing information to and from any source so directed by the
director.
(5) At the time of filing an application for a license under this
chapter, each applicant shall pay to the director through the
nationwide mortgage licensing system and registry the appropriate
application fee in an amount determined by rule of the director in
accordance with RCW 43.24.086 to cover, but not exceed, the cost of
processing and reviewing the application. The director shall deposit
the moneys in the financial services regulation fund, unless the
consumer services account is created as a dedicated, nonappropriated
account, in which case the director shall deposit the moneys in the
consumer services account.
(6)(a) Except as provided in (b) of this subsection, each applicant
for a mortgage broker's license shall file and maintain a surety bond,
in an amount which the director deems adequate to protect the public
interest, executed by the applicant as obligor and by a surety company
authorized to do a surety business in this state as surety. The
bonding requirement as established by the director shall take the form
of a range of bond amounts which shall vary according to the annual
loan origination volume of the licensee. The bond shall run to the
state of Washington as obligee, and shall run first to the benefit of
the borrower and then to the benefit of the state and any person or
persons who suffer loss by reason of the applicant's or its loan
originator's violation of any provision of this chapter or rules
adopted under this chapter. The bond shall be conditioned that the
obligor as licensee will faithfully conform to and abide by this
chapter and all rules adopted under this chapter, and shall reimburse
all persons who suffer loss by reason of a violation of this chapter or
rules adopted under this chapter. Borrowers shall be given priority
over the state and other persons. The state and other third parties
shall be allowed to receive distribution pursuant to a valid claim
against the remainder of the bond. In the case of claims made by any
person or entity who is not a borrower, no final judgment may be
entered prior to one hundred eighty days following the date the claim
is filed. The bond shall be continuous and may be canceled by the
surety upon the surety giving written notice to the director of its
intent to cancel the bond. The cancellation shall be effective thirty
days after the notice is received by the director. Whether or not the
bond is renewed, continued, reinstated, reissued, or otherwise
extended, replaced, or modified, including increases or decreases in
the penal sum, it shall be considered one continuous obligation, and
the surety upon the bond shall not be liable in an aggregate or
cumulative amount exceeding the penal sum set forth on the face of the
bond. In no event shall the penal sum, or any portion thereof, at two
or more points in time be added together in determining the surety's
liability. The bond shall not be liable for any penalties imposed on
the licensee, including, but not limited to, any increased damages or
attorneys' fees, or both, awarded under RCW 19.86.090. The applicant
may obtain the bond directly from the surety or through a group bonding
arrangement involving a professional organization comprised of mortgage
brokers if the arrangement provides at least as much coverage as is
required under this subsection.
(b) If the director determines that the bond required in (a) of
this subsection is not reasonably available, the director shall waive
the requirements for such a bond. ((The mortgage recovery fund account
is created in the custody of the state treasurer. The director is
authorized to charge fees to fund the account. All fees charged under
this section, except those retained by the director for administration
of the fund [account], must be deposited into the mortgage recovery
fund account. Expenditures from the account may be used only for the
same purposes as the surety bond as described in (a) of this
subsection. Only the director or the director's designee may authorize
expenditures from the account. The account is subject to allotment
procedures under chapter 43.88 RCW, but an appropriation is not
required for expenditures. A person entitled to receive payment from
the mortgage recovery fund [account] may only receive reimbursement
after a court of competent jurisdiction has determined the actual
damages caused by the licensee. The director may determine by rule the
procedure for recovery; the amount each mortgage broker must pay
through the nationwide mortgage licensing system and registry for
deposit in the mortgage recovery fund [account]; and the amount
necessary to administer the fund [account].))
