An Authorization to release disclosure is normally found in your loan application documents, thus granting authorization to release information to the lender information required for the loan process --such as your credit report, saving/checking account verification, loan status and payment history, and employment or related compensation verification.

If doing a short sale, your lender will also require an authorization to release to verify information submitted as part of the short sale and/or allow your real estate attorney or real estate agent to negotiate with the lender.
