Available Now in Broad Production: UAD 3.6 and Forms Redesign

The Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD) 3.6 and Forms Redesign Broad Production Period begins today, January 26, 2026. All lenders are now permitted to submit UAD 3.6 appraisal reports to the Uniform Collateral Data Portal^® (UCDP^®). 

Submission of UAD 3.6 appraisal reports is not yet mandatory; however, lenders that have updated their systems and processes to support UAD 3.6 appraisal reports – including working with an appraisal software provider whose software has been verified for UAD 3.6 – are encouraged to begin integrating appraisal reports that use UAD 3.6 into their workflow. Gradually integrating UAD 3.6 appraisal reports will help lenders prepare for a full transition by November 2, 2026 mandate, when all appraisal reports on loans sold to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae must use UAD 3.6.
