How to request a Certificate of Eligibility for VA
Home Loan Benefits
- To request a Certificate of Eligibility
for VA home loan benefits, you must complete
VA Form 26-1880 and submit it to one of our
VA Eligibility Centers along with
acceptable proof of service as described on the instruction page of the
form.
It's also possible
to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility from your lender. Most lenders have
access to the ACE (automated certificate of eligibility) system. This
Internet based application can establish eligibility and issue an online
Certificate of Eligibility in a matter of seconds. Not all cases can be
processed through ACE - only those for which VA has sufficient data in our
records. However, veterans are encouraged to ask their lenders about this
method of obtaining a certificate.
