Federal Consolidation Loan Verification Certificate Instructions The borrower named in the Certificate has requested consolidation of his/her eligible education loan(s). As part of his/her application for a Federal Consolidation Loan, the borrower authorizes each education loan holder/servicer to complete a Loan Verification Certificate. The consolidating lender will use the Loan Verification Certificate to determine the eligibility of loans for inclusion in the consolidation and the payoff amount due to each creditor. After receiving the Loan Verification Certificate and the documents required from the applicant, the consolidating lender will pay off the borrower’s debt(s) based on the information provided on the Certificate. Upon receipt of payment, the loan holder must return the original or a copy of the Promissory Note or provide other acceptable notice to the borrower (as if the borrower personally paid the loan in full). Any overpayments or subsequent borrower payments are to be sent to the consolidating lender so they may be applied to the borrower’s outstanding principal balance in accordance with Department of Education guidelines.
