Georgia Mortgage Licensing

Georgia looks very heavily at background checks and does not allow any employee working for the licensee to have a convicted felony on record unless the felony has been pardoned from the President of the United States, the governor, or other pardoning authority in the jurisdiction where the conviction occurred or an official certification granted by the state's pardoning body. Georgia also will deny an application if an applicant has failed to repay student loans and/or is noncompliance with an order for child support.
