The New Hampshire MLO state exam covers NH-specific mortgage laws administered by the NH Banking Department. Combined with the national NMLS SAFE exam, candidates must pass both components to originate mortgages in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is a non-judicial foreclosure state using power of sale, meaning lenders can foreclose without court proceedings if proper notice is given under RSA 479:25. The state requires a $25,000 surety bond and follows the SAFE Act through RSA 397-A.
