When applying for a mortgage with AAFMAA Mortgage Services LLC, a borrower needs to provide documentation for the mortgage loan application to be processed and underwritten for approval. This may vary based on your financial situation, credit, income, type of loan, and other factors, but typically most lenders will ask for the documents listed below.
