What is the Origination Community of Practice?

The Origination Community works to design, develop, and maintain data standards for the mortgage industry, with a focus on the Origination lifecycle and the key process areas of Application, Underwriting, and Closing. In addition, the Community develops supporting documentation to provide guidance in the use of these data standards.  

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop data specifications and data mapping guidance for Application, Underwriting, and Closing-related forms and process areas
  • Provide business and regulatory updates from key stakeholders
  • Discuss adoption and implementation issues
  • Collaborate with regulatory agencies on compliance initiatives
  • Respond to new and changing industry data requirements
  • Collaborate on industry challenges, issues, and needs, then generate new ideas on solutions that MISMO can explore

Current Focus:

  • Implementation of data exchange guidance for origination data and processes using MISMO v3.6 (e.g., HUD/VA Addendum to URLA 92900-A, IRS 4506-C, etc.).
