The mortgage application form will ask you for information such as:

• name
• date of birth
• spouse’s name
• drivers licence
• address
• number of dependants
• total value of your assets
• total value of your liabilities (personal loans, credit card debts etc)
• occupation
• current place of employment, length of time working with current employer
• employer’s contact details
• if your self-employed, how long have you been self-employed for

The mortgage lender will also want you to provide a range of documents to support your home loan application. A mortgage application checklist will help determine which documents may be required for various home loan types.
