Missouri
The Missouri MLO state exam covers Missouri-specific mortgage laws administered by the Division of Finance. Combined with the national NMLS SAFE exam, candidates must pass both components to originate mortgages in Missouri. Missouri is a non-judicial foreclosure state that uses deeds of trust with a power of sale clause, allowing foreclosure without court involvement. The state has a short foreclosure timeline (typically 60-90 days) and no statutory right of redemption after the sale.
