Private mortgage insurance, or PMI, is insurance that helps protect the lender if a borrower stops making payments on a conventional mortgage loan. PMI is typically required when your down payment is less than 20% of the home’s purchase price or original value.

When PMI is usually required

PMI is most commonly required on a conventional mortgage when you put less than 20% down. It increases the cost of the loan, but it may also help you qualify for a mortgage sooner if you do not have a larger down payment.

When PMI may be removed

In many cases, you can ask to remove PMI once your loan balance reaches 80% of the home’s original value and you meet the lender’s requirements. In general, PMI is automatically terminated when your loan balance is scheduled to reach 78% of the home’s original value, as long as your loan is current.

If you have questions about PMI or your mortgage options, connect with a mortgage loan officer for personalized guidance.

An NMLS ID is a unique identification number assigned to mortgage loan originators and mortgage lending institutions through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System & Registry. It helps identify the person or company handling your mortgage and supports transparency in the mortgage process.

Why it matters

An NMLS ID allows consumers to verify the identity and licensing information of a mortgage professional or lender. It can also help you confirm who you are working with when you review mortgage advertisements, emails, disclosures, and loan documents.

Where you may see it

You may see an NMLS ID on mortgage websites, marketing materials, email signatures, loan paperwork, and other mortgage-related communications. If you want to look up a mortgage professional or lender, you can search the NMLS Consumer Access website.

Need help?

If you have questions about an NMLS ID or want help identifying the mortgage professional working with you, call 844-700-7328 during business hours.

To apply for a mortgage, you will need to provide the following documents to verify your identity, income, assets, and employment. Required Documents & Why They are Needed

• Copy of your driver’s license or state-issued ID – Verifies your identity and legal name.
• Last 2 years of W-2 forms – Prove your employment history and income stability.
• Most recent 30 days of pay stubs – Shows your current income and allows us to calculate your debt-to-income ratio accurately.
• Last 2 years of Federal Tax Returns (including all schedules) – Confirms your reported income and helps lenders assess your overall financial picture.
• Most recent two months of bank statements (all pages) – Verifies your assets, down payment funds, and that you have enough reserves after closing.
• Contact information for your homeowner’s insurance agent – Required to set up the proper insurance coverage for the property at closing.

Why These Documents Matter Lenders use these documents to confirm you can afford the loan and meet underwriting guidelines. Having them ready when you apply can shorten your approval time from weeks to days. 5 Helpful Hints When Preparing Mortgage Documents

1. Gather everything before you apply — it can save you weeks of delays.
2. Make sure all pages of the bank statements are included.
3. Include all W-2s and tax returns, even if you filed jointly.
4. Scan or take clear photos of your documents for easy upload.
