Each applicant for licensure under this chapter, except publicly traded corporations and their subsidiaries, shall provide to the nationwide mortgage licensing system and registry a complete set of the applicant’s fingerprints for submission to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and any other government agency authorized to receive fingerprints for the purposes of a state, national, and international criminal history background check prior to permanent licensure of the applicant. The division may require a state and federal criminal history background check for any licensee who is the subject of a disciplinary investigation by the division. The failure to submit or cooperate with the criminal history background check under this section may result in denial of an application or revocation of a license. The applicant shall pay for any fees charged for the cost of fingerprinting or the criminal history background check.
