We provide Form 1003 in an electronic format that prints as a letter size document. However, lenders may print Form 1003 as a legal size document or with different fonts or margins that may affect pagination; we have no specific standards for the number or size of pages the form may have. Consequently, the number and size of pages will not affect compliance with Fannie Mae requirements pertaining to use of the Uniform Residential Loan Application, provided that the content of the form has not been materially altered. When printing this form, you must use the "shrink to fit" option in the Adobe Acrobat print dialogue box.

The lender may accept applications taken during a face-to-face interview, over the telephone, through the mail, or via the Internet. The lender should complete all blanks and attach any separate exhibits, details, or statements that are relevant to underwriting the mortgage. The borrower(s) must sign the original application at the time it is completed. If the application is taken over the telephone or via the Internet, the borrower(s) must sign the completed application as soon as possible thereafter. However, an electronic signature or facsimile of the borrower's signature is acceptable as indicated in the "Acknowledgment and Agreement" section of the application. The lender should retain the original application with the supporting information provided by the borrower(s). Before or at the loan closing, the borrower(s) must sign the final application that the lender prepares based on its verification of the information that the borrower(s) provided in the original application.
