Closing Disclosure

The Closing Disclosure is a five-page federal form that lenders must give borrowers for most consumer mortgage loans, showing the final loan terms, projected payments, and all closing costs. Under the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rule, the borrower must receive it at least three business days before consummation. Certain changes, such as an APR increase beyond tolerance, a change in loan product, or adding a prepayment penalty, trigger a new three-day waiting period.

Exam tip
Know the timing pair: Loan Estimate within 3 business days after application; Closing Disclosure at least 3 business days before closing.
Example
A closing is set for Friday, so the lender delivers the Closing Disclosure no later than Tuesday so the buyer has three business days to review it.

1. Under TRID, the borrower must receive the Closing Disclosure at least how long before loan closing?
