Take advantage of the Desktop Underwriter® (DU®) validation service, which uses third-party data vendors to independently validate borrower income, employment, and asset data, providing our lenders with Day 1 Certainty® on validated loan components. By digitally validating secure third-party data through DU, you can help eliminate the paper chase and help get your borrowers approved quickly. In addition, other approved vendor tools may provide relief from representations and warranties.
Lenders may participate in the DU validation service through relationships with vendors of their choice if those vendors provide validation reports accepted by Fannie Mae. To mitigate the risk that Fannie Mae assumes by offering representation and warranty relief on validated loan components, we have a structured process and guidelines for determining eligible verification reports. However, vendors and other approved vendor tools are subject to lenders’ requirements and approval processes.

NOTE: Fannie Mae does not endorse any particular vendor and does not represent or warrant that any report supplier will meet a lender's requirements. Lenders must establish controls to manage and monitor the vendors in accordance with their own regulatory requirements.
Fannie Mae is committed to ensuring that vendors on our platform are providing high-quality data. As part of our ongoing vendor monitoring, we encourage lenders to report any data discrepancies they see in any third-party verification reports to the Day 1 Certainty Data Discrepancy Mailbox.
“Using the momentum we’ve created through Day 1 Certainty, we’ve created a process where a loan can come in and be out of underwriting in a couple of days. I don’t have issues closing loans in two weeks.”
— Eric Weiss, Guild Mortgage Sales Manager
