DATA COLLECTIONThe following procedures are designed to guide you through the data collection process under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) for applications received on or after January 1, 2018. 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).

Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)
LEI Registration Call Report
Enter your institution’s LEI. Width specification: 20 characters
Universal Loan Identifier (ULI)
Internal methodology
Enter the ULI for the transaction based on your internal methodologyWidth specification: 45 characters
One 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.

Example: 20180721
For 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. Otherwise, report the original application date.
