    paragraph_quote: '2. How to Submit Loan Documents to VA Change Date April 1, 2019
      • This chapter has been revised in its entirety. a. Where and When to Submit
      Documents Generally, lenders only need to submit documents to VA when the loan
      requires prior approval or VA requests copies of the origination package for
      a Full File Loan Review (FFLR). Lenders must use WebLGY, accessed via the Veterans
      Information Portal, to submit all requested documents. b. VA Loan Number A 12-digit
      VA Loan Identification Number (LIN) is assigned to each loan by VA at the time
      the appraisal or Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing Loan (IRRRL) is requested.
      Use this number electronically in VA systems or where requested on VA forms
      and other documents. Submitting an incorrect VA loan number can delay processing
      of the guaranty. c. Who Can Sign Documents for the Lender? Under certain circumstances,
      VA requires specific parties to execute documents. For example: • a VA-approved
      underwriter must approve or disapprove a loan for a non-supervised automatic
      lender, • an officer of the company must sign the Lender’s Loan Quality Certification.
      Where VA does not have a specific requirement, branch managers, employees, and
      agents of the lender or holder may execute VA forms in the name of, and on behalf
      of, the principals. d. Use of Electronic Documents When submitting loan documents
      to VA, lenders may use electronic documents. Lenders must be able to provide
      VA’s audit team members with printed, digital, or on-line access to records.
      Lenders are expected to continually monitor the integrity of their electronic
      system to ensure consistent quality and to prevent unauthorized alternation
      or destruction of records. VA Pamphlet 26-7, Revised Chapter 5: How to Process
