Complying with the new URLA

The All New Uniform Residential Loan Application (Form 1003)

Starting August 1, 2020, both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac allowed the use of the redesigned Uniform Residential Loan Application ("URLA") published jointly by the Government-Sponsored Enterprises ("GSEs"). All loans with an application date on or after March 1, 2021 and purchased by Fannie and Freddie are required to include the redesigned URLA.  The GSEs will continue to accept legacy loans (applications prior to 3/1/21) with the old form 1003 until March 1, 2022. 

Redesigned URLA Required for all New Applications - March 2021

As of March 1, 2021, all new applications will automatically default to the redesigned URLA.  The URLA Type data point in the worksheet will allow specification of the version of the URLA received: Revised2009 or Effective2021.  Worksheets which do not indicate an URLA type will default to the Redeisgned URLA based on the application date.

The Redesigned URLA

The URLA has been updated to include some new (and removing some old) information borrowers must furnish in the application process, in the aim of providing greater clarity and easier use during this time.

 

The URLA accomplishes this by organizing information borrowers must provide, acknowledge, and agree to, compared to information the lender must collect and verify during processing and underwriting of the loan.

 

In addition, the GSEs have updated sections of the URLA to help lenders increase turn-around times by capturing more complete application information from borrowers by bolstering certain areas of the application such as income verification, military service, assets and liabilities, and more in depth property information.
