VA Pamphlet 26-7, Chapter 10 (Appraisal Process), Topic 11 — Builder Identification Numbers
• This chapter has been revised in its entirety. a. ID Numbers Assigned by State VA registers builders and issues identification (ID) numbers. Builders must obtain an ID number for each state where they are building homes for Veterans who are obtaining VA-guaranteed loans. b. Builder must have ID Before NOV is Issued For all new and proposed construction properties, with the exceptions of a new construction property sold by a lender or a home built by the Veteran for his/her own occupancy, the builder must have a valid ID number prior to the NOV being issued. c. Must Meet Licensing Requirements The builder must meet any state and/or local licensing requirements. d. Online List of Registered Builders A list of registered VA builders with ID numbers is available at https://vip.vba.va.gov/portal/VBAH/Home under “Featured Items” in the “Builder Locator.” e. How to Obtain a Builder ID Number Builders who wish to apply for an ID number must send the following four items to the RLC of jurisdiction: • Copy of the builder’s license, if required by a state or local authority. • VA Form 26-421, Equal Employment Opportunity Certification. • VA Form 26-8791, VA Affirmative Marketing Certification. • Builder Information and Certifications for the VA Home Loan Guaranty program submitted on the builder’s letterhead or attached to a statement on the builder’s letterhead which references it. The certification statement and forms are available at: http://www.benefits.va.gov/HOMELOANS/appraiser_cv_builder_info .asp.
Operationalizing VA Lenders Handbook (VA Pamphlet 26-7), Chapter 10, Topic 11 — Builder Identification Numbers
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
