How to request a Certificate of Eligibility for VA
Home Loan Benefits
To request a Certificate of Eligibility for VA home
loan benefits, you must complete
VA Form 26-1880
and submit it to our VA Eligibility Center along
with acceptable proof of service as described on the
instruction page of the form.
It's also possible to
obtain a Certificate of Eligibility from your
lender. Most lenders have access to the ACE
(Automated Certificate of Eligibility) system.
This Internet based application can establish
eligibility and issue an online Certificate of
Eligibility in a matter of seconds. Not all
cases can be processed through ACE - only those for
which VA has sufficient data in our records.
However, veterans are encouraged to ask their
lenders about this method of obtaining a
certificate.
