VA Certificate of Eligibility

Online VA Approval

The VA does not offer an online certificate request. However we can get an online VA approval when submitting a loan applications using the Automated Certificate of Eligibility (ACE) system.

A completed application is needed for submission, then if the VA has sufficient information on file for the borrower, it will verify eligibility and issue an electronic certificate. This can save weeks of waiting for a paper certificate in the mail.

All you need to do is apply for a VA Loan with VA-Loan.com!

How to apply in writing

To request your certificate by postal mail, you must provide proof of service and a completed VA form 26-1880. Proof of service can be a letter from your personnel office or a copy of your DD-214 certificate of retirement. If you have lost your DD-214, you can request a new one from http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/
Mail your 26-1880 and proof of service to:

VA Loan Eligibility Center
PO Box 20729
Winston-Salem, NC 27120

This process will take 4-6 weeks for processing.
