HMDA Loan Application Register (LAR) data fields and their corresponding source documents have been outlined. It is critical that the source of the data for every application is consistent. The source documents listed as suggested and possible examples; your internal processes and procedures may include additional source documents not listed here.Please note that these procedures address the data collection and recording process based on the CFPB’s Filing Instruction Guide. You should document additional procedures to capture, at a minimum: How the data is actually captured within your organization (e.g. loan officer gathering of data, HMDA worksheet, system forms, etc.); the individual(s) responsible for entering the data into your core or HMDA software; the processes you have in place to test the data; and, your submission process (e.g. how LAR data is submitted electronically).Data PointSource DocumentProcedureLegal Entity Identifier (LEI)LEI Registration Call ReportEnter your institution’s LEI. Width specification: 20 charactersUniversal Loan Identifier (ULI)Internal methodologyEnter the ULI for the transaction based on your internal methodologyWidth specification: 45 charactersOne the ULI is assigned, it stays with the loan. If you previously reported a covered loan with a ULI, a financial institution that purchases that covered loan must use the ULI that was previously reported.If you purchase a covered loan, you must use the ULI that was assigned by the institution that originated the loan.If no ULI was assigned by the originating institution, you assign a ULI, record and submit the transaction on your LAR. A situation like this may occur if a loan was originated prior to 1/1/2018.Application DateUniform Residential Loan Application (1003)Home Equity Application, if other than URLACommercial Loan ApplicationCommercial Loan Write-upReport the date the application was received.Every 1003 and Home Equity application should have a received date clearly indicated by the loan officer. The application should also indicate whether it was taken by phone, in person or by fax, mail or mercial loans secured by a dwelling for the purposes of purchasing, improving or refinancing the dwelling must have a clearly defined application date notated in the file. Example: 20180721For an application that was not submitted directly to you, you may report the date the application was received by the party that originally received the application, the date you received the application or the date shown on the application form.If you are treating a request to reinstate or reconsider an earlier application as a new transaction, report the date of the request as the application date.

For a reverse mortgage, the initial principal limit is the loan amount.Counteroffer: If an applicant accepts a counteroffer for an amount different from the amount for which he or she initially applied, report the loan amount granted.Multiple-Purpose Loan: Report the entire amount of the loan even if only a portion of the proceeds are being used for home purchase, home improvement or refinancing purposes.Refinancing: Report the amount of credit extended under the new debt obligation.Action TakenFile documentationNoteAdverse Action NoticeLoan originatedApplication approved but not acceptedApplication deniedApplication withdrawn by applicantFile closed for incompletenessPurchased loanPreapproval request deniedPreapproval request approved but not acceptedIf you purchased the loan after closing or account opening and you did not make the credit decision on the application prior to closing or account opening, report the action taken as Code 6 – Purchased Loan. If you are repurchasing a loan from the entity to which you sold it and you made the credit decision before closing or account opening, report the action taken as Code 6 – Purchased Loan.Approved Not Accepted: Use this code when you made a credit decision approving the application before closing or account opening, subject only to outstanding conditions that are customary commitment or closing conditions, but the applicant fails to respond to the approval or it was otherwise not consummated.Withdrawn: Use this code only when the applicant expressly withdraws the application before you make a credit decision or before the file is closed for incompleteness.

If you provide a notice of adverse action on the basis of incompleteness, you may report the action taken as either file closed for incompleteness or application denied.Counteroffers: If the applicant does not accept the counteroffer, report is as a denial on the original terms requested.
