Background to the Closing Disclosure

The Closing Disclosure is designed to inform a borrower of the final details about their mortgage loan and is the final version of the Loan Estimate.

The Closing Disclosure is a 5 page form that a borrower must receive at least three business days before closing a mortgage loan, that includes the loan terms, projected monthly payments, fees and other costs (closing costs).

Remove the Pink Color BEFORE Printing
The pink highlighted cells are designed to make it easy for you to enter your data and identify which cells are unlocked. However, for printing this is not ideal as the pink collar will be printed too.
