This state does not require a license for servicing, but they do require a license for a broker and/or lender. Audited Financial statement is needed to apply. After approval Illinois will accept Unaudited Financial statements for renewal each year. Your surety bond may need to be increased as necessary annually based upon the amount of Illinois residential mortgage loans brokered, funded, originated, serviced or purchased, as the case may be, during the preceding calendar year. Illinois also requires a full Fidelity policy in the amount of $100K.
