(B) A registrant or licensee shall maintain records pertaining to business transacted pursuant to this chapter for four years.

Each registrant and entity holding a valid letter of exemption under this chapter shall ensure that all residential mortgage loans that are consummated as a result of a mortgage loan originator's loan origination activities or serviced by the registrant or entity holding a valid exemption are included in the report of condition submitted to the nationwide mortgage licensing system and registry.
