Cost / fees
No fee for requesting the certificate is stated. A certificate does not set lender costs or guarantee a loan; lenders separately review credit, income, appraisal, and other requirements.
About this service
A VA home loan Certificate of Eligibility confirms to a lender that an applicant meets the military-service eligibility requirement for a VA-backed home loan. It is also the first step for a Native American Direct Loan, but it is not loan approval.
