Licensable activities from a remote location are permitted when: (1) the mortgage loan originator or qualified individual licensee has written policies and procedures for the supervision of an employee working from a place of residence or another remote location; (2) access to company platforms and customer information is in accordance with a comprehensive written information security plan; (3) no in-person customer interaction occurs at a place of residence unless the residence is a licensed location; and (4) physical records are not maintained at a remote location.
