Georgia Loan Officers Face the Earliest MLO CE Deadline in the USA: October 31st

ATLANTA, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the busy real estate season transitions into fall, Mortgage Loan Originators in Georgia need to act quickly. Georgia holds the distinction of having the earliest continuing education deadline in the United States; it is the first state in the nation where licensed professionals must have their Continuing Education hours fully completed and reported to their individual NMLS account by October 31st to maintain an active MLO License.

A graphic with a light grey cityscape silhouette background featuring the Georgia state flag, an NMLS Approved Course ID 18552 house logo, and a darkBecause this deadline comes so early in the year, right on the heels of a demanding summer housing market, it frequently catches industry professionals off guard. Each year, many newer loan originators and even veteran loan officers miss the October 31st cutoff, risking delays or lapses in their MLO License renewals.

To help loan officers meet this critical deadline, 24hourEDU is excited to announce that, for the first time, it is offering NMLS approved online self-paced MLO CE courses across all 50 states—including comprehensive coverage for Georgia.

Georgia MLOs are required to complete 8 hours of Continuing Education annually. 24hourEDU provides a streamlined, self-paced solution to meet these exact requirements:

  • 7-Hour Core 2026 CE Course (NMLS #18551): This comprehensive core course includes 3 hours of Federal law, 2 hours of Ethics, and 2 hours of Nontraditional mortgage lending.
  • 1-Hour State-Specific Course (NMLS #18552): The 1-Hour GA SAFE: 2026 GA MLO CE course satisfies the final state-specific requirement for Georgia originators.
