FHA Single Family Housing Policy Handbook 4000.1, Part I — a. Registration (03/19/2024)
a. Registration (03/19/2024) The Mortgagee may register all Branch Offices in which it conducts FHA business, including originating, underwriting, and/or servicing FHA-insured Mortgages. The Mortgagee can register each branch office and pay branch office registration fees through LEAP. A 10-digit FHA Lender ID will be assigned to each registered branch office. The Mortgagee cannot register a new branch office within a HUD Field Office jurisdiction in which it has withdrawn a branch office in the last six months. The Mortgagee must instead make a request through LEAP to reassign the former office’s 10-digit FHA Lender ID to the new branch and must pay the branch office registration fee.
