Establishing a New Case
  
 

When a borrower applies for an FHA-insured mortgage, Case Number Assignment allows the lender to establish the case in HUD's origination system and be assigned an FHA case number. There are two main steps in establishing a case:

 
 
First, the Validate Borrower/Address for Case Number Assignment page is used for borrower and property address validation.  
 
Then, the Case Number Assignment page is completed and submitted.  
 
If processing is successful, an FHA case number is issued. This number is used by HUD for the life of the loan. Note the case number for future use. See WINK, Establish a New Case.
