Quick Start Guide: How to Register

This Quick Start How to Register page provides an overview of key registration facts.

ALL new FHA Connection users must register themselves to receive HUD authorization and a user ID. Your user ID is what you will enter in the User Name field in the dialog box that appears when you sign on to the FHA Connection Home page. Use the Getting Registered table that follows to quickly identify your user type and access your registration form.

MOST organizations new to the FHA Connection must establish Application Coordinator(s) to administer user IDs prior to registering any users. The Getting Registered table also indicates those requirements for your organization.

Quick Start's User Administration (Application Coordinator) page provides detail on the User ID administration process and on how to contact your Application Coordinator. Once you are registered, your Application Coordinator performs password reset, helps resolve Sign on problems, and establishes, adds, reinstates, and/or terminates authorizations to use the FHA Connection and its functions.

Refer to:

•	the Help icon on the registration form (business background, steps for processing, field descriptions)
•	the Detailed Information Resources table for in-depth, illustrated training and answers to specific questions on the registration process.
