    Get Started

    If you choose MLG to complete your license as well as to use our RI for your company in Arizona, then we will prepare your Arizona application for free (state and other third-party fees still apply).

    Arizona Responsible Individual Program (AZ RI Program)

    Arizona can be one of the more difficult states in which to secure a mortgage license. This is primarily due to the brick and mortar location requirement and the need for a qualified Arizona Responsible Individual.

    For mortgage companies looking to expand or start an office in Arizona, it is important to know that the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions (AZDFI) prefers to work with a smaller number of individuals. That means your company can use an RI that is also working with other companies, similar to a BRE broker of record with the CABRE. Our company works with professional RIs, giving you the ability to meet the Arizona requirements without searching for your own RI.
