Completing Pre-ICD Tasks
By default, the following tasks are required before the loan can be submitted to the lender:
- Lock Interest Rate
- Upload Invoices
- Provide Closing Info
- Confirm Estimated Closing Date
The remaining tasks on this page will be required at later stages of the loan process - they can be completed now, or you can choose to complete them after requesting the ICD. If any of these tasks were completed before submitting the loan or before requesting the Initial Closing Disclosure, they will appear as completed on this page.
| Note: users can configure whether individual tasks are required or optional. To learn more, refer to this article |

The borrower's interest rate should be locked before requesting the ICD. Select Open Locking & Adjustments to begin the process of requesting a lock.

If an appraisal is needed for the subject property, select Order Appraisal to open the Appraisal Center, where users can schedule the appraisal and make arrangements for the payment of the appraisal fee.
