Section 208-620-622. When I advertise using the internet or any electronic form (including, but not limited to, text messages), is there specific content my web pages must contain?

Yes. You must provide the following language, in addition to any other, on your web pages or in any medium where you hold yourself out as being able to provide the services:

(1) Main or home page.

(a) The company's name as entered in the NMLS and NMLS unique identifier must be displayed on the licensee's main or home web page.

(b) If mortgage loan originators are named, their license numbers must closely follow the names.

(c) The main or home page must also contain a link to the NMLS consumer access web site page for the company.

(2) Branch office web page - No DBA. Comply with subsection (1) of this section.

(3) Main or branch office web page - DBA. If the company uses a DBA on a web page the web page must also contain the main office name as entered in the NMLS, license number, be in compliance with subsection (1)(b) of this section, and the web page must contain a link to the NMLS consumer access web site page for the company.

(4) Mortgage loan originator web page. If a loan originator maintains a separate home or main page, the sponsoring licensee's name and license number must also appear on the web page. The web page must also contain the loan originator's name as entered in the NMLS and license number closely following their name and a link to the NMLS consumer access web page for the company. An example of closely following is: Your name as entered in the NMLS followed by your title (if you use one) followed by your license number. See the definition of license number for examples of ways to display your license number. See also WAC 208-620-710(26).
