VOM Defined

A VOM is one of the ways that lenders will assess a borrower’s payment history and existing mortgages. In the pre-approval process for a new home loan, a borrower will often be required to have the following forms completed and submitted to the mortgage company:

Obtaining third-party verification of the borrower’s payment history, income, and existing mortgage accounts helps the lender determine their loan eligibility.

How the Form is Used

A mortgage company can often verify a homeowner or buyer’s mortgage payment history by reviewing their mortgage statements or obtaining a credit report. The mortgage verification form is a third method lenders can use to obtain important information regarding the borrower’s account. The process is usually carried out as follows:

  1. The mortgage company requesting VOM fills out the contact and addressee information on the verification form.
  2. The borrower fills out and signs the Owner’s Consent.
  3. The form is sent to the borrower’s previous mortgage company.
  4. A mortgage company representative enters the requested information and signs the form.
  5. The mortgage company returns the form to the requesting company.
  6. The form is reviewed to determine if the borrower’s mortgage request can be approved.
