      a Change Request to FHA if the Mortgagee changes its legal name and there is
      no change to the TIN. The Change Request must include the following: • a letter,
      signed by a Corporate Officer, describing the change; • an amendment to its
      articles of incorporation or Articles of Organization; • evidence that the change
      has been approved by the state in which the lender’s home office is located;
      and • evidence that the change has been processed in NMLS.'
