Identification Number
Before executing a Master Custodial Agreement, an institution must obtain a Ginnie Mae document custodian identification number as specified in Chapter 2-E of the Document Custodian Manual (Appendix V-1) of the Ginnie Mae Guide. The identification number must be placed on all documents on which the document custodian's name appears.
For more detailed information on a document custodian's roles and responsibilities, or on becoming a document custodian, please refer to the Ginnie Mae Guide.
