It currently takes approximately 7 calendar days for an “Add Branch” request to be processed and an FHA ID number issued. Mortgagees can monitor the progress of the “Add Branch” request by periodically checking the “Request-View Submitted Requests” screen in the Lender Electronic Assessment Portal (LEAP).
For more information on LEAP please visit the LEAP Information web page located at in the Approvals and Renewals section and
