Mortgagee Letter 88-36
TO:  ALL APPROVED MORTGAGEES
SUBJECT:  Obtaining Duplicate Mortgage Insurance Certificates (MICs)
 
        This letter establishes a new procedure for obtaining a
duplicate MIC.
 
        Requests for duplicate MICs must be made in writing to the
Chief of Mortgage Credit in the HUD Field Office having jurisdiction
over the property.  This request must be accompanied by a copy of the
mortgage note, a completed but unsigned Mortgage Insurance
Certificate, Form HUD-591OO (attached) and a self addressed, stamped
envelope.  In preparing the duplicate MIC for the signature of the
HUD official, be sure to fill in every block possible.  In block 20,
put the name and address of the originating mortgagee.  Since that
mortgagee may have moved or gone out of business, it will suffice to
type in the name and address as reflected on the note.  You need not
enter the originating mortgagee's ID number in block 20.  Finally put
your company's ten digit ID number on the MIC in the space provided
for current holders ID number.
 
        The Field Office will review the request and verify the facts
represented on the MIC.  If there are no difficulties, the Field
Office will sign either the MIC sent in by the mortgagee or,
possibly, issue a new computer generated duplicate and mail it to the
mortgagee.  The Field Office will be in touch with the mortgagee if
for some reason it cannot issue a duplicate.
 
        If you have any questions concerning this Mortgagee Letter,
please contact the Single Family Development Division, Programs and
Procedures Branch, (202) 755-5676.
 
                Sincerely yours,
                Thomas T. Demery
