What does the AMP designation mean?
Accredited Mortgage Professional

AMP stands for Accredited Mortgage Professional. The Mortgage Bankers Association awards this designation to graduates of its three-course School of Mortgage Banking. It represents additional professional education in the mortgage business.

That education complements Enrique’s hands-on experience explaining costs, choices and the mortgage process. The designation is separate from a state license and does not guarantee approval or a particular rate.

Check both the person and the company

Washington DFI directs consumers to the relevant licensing resources, including NMLS Consumer Access for mortgage providers. Compare the names and identifiers with the professional’s written disclosures. Washington DFI — Verify a license ↗

Review the current record

Look for the jurisdictions and status shown in the public record and ask questions about any mismatch. A number printed on a website is an identifier, not by itself proof of current authorization for your transaction. This page does not certify a live license status.

Know which service you are discussing

Mortgage Lending Group LLC identifies its company NMLS as 1157983; Enrique Pelayo Jr’s individual NMLS is 131435. Mortgage and real estate services have different company roles and licensing systems. Ask who will provide the particular service you need.

PUT IT INTO PERSPECTIVE

An example, not an offer

Example workflow: search the individual’s identifier, then the company’s identifier, and compare the state authorization and relationship shown in the records. Save the date you checked rather than assuming an old screenshot remains current.
