Request a VA home loan Certificate of Eligibility (COE)

Request for a Certificate of Eligibility (VA Form 26-1880)

Sign in to request a COE, get your COE, or check your status

Sign into VA.gov if you want to:

• Request a COE

• Find out if you already have a COE and download it

• Check the status of your request

You may be able to get an automatic COE online

If we have all the information we need when you sign in, you may get a COE automatically. If we don’t have enough information to create your COE automatically, we’ll ask you to request a COE by completing a Request for a Certificate of Eligibility.

Have you requested a COE before?

If you think you received a VA home loan COE in the past, or if you requested a COE and you haven’t heard back, we’ll check when you sign in and show your current status.

Sign in with a verified account

You’ll need to sign in with an identity-verified account through one of our account providers. Identity verification helps us protect all Veterans’ information and prevent scammers from stealing your benefits.

Don’t yet have a verified account? Create a Login.gov or ID.me account. We’ll help you verify your identity for your account now.

Not sure if your account is verified? Sign in here. If you still need to verify your identity, we’ll help you do that now.
