Mortgage application help

Help with your mortgage application

Find answers to common questions about signing in, accessing your application, uploading documents and verifying your identity.

NatWest mortgages are available to over 18s. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Accessing your application

Whether you're starting a new application, returning to one you've already started or having trouble signing in, you'll find help here.

Does an Agreement in Principle (AIP) affect my credit score?

Getting an AIP doesn't impact your credit score, as we don't run a 'full' credit check. This is only something we would run if you went on to apply for a mortgage with us.

Managing your application

Find help with returning to your application, tracking progress and making changes after you've applied.

I'm applying with someone else and need help accessing the application

You don't need an email from us to access your application. Simply sign in using the email address you provided when you applied.

If you're still unable to access the application, ask the main applicant to check your contact details in the application dashboard. If they update your details, we'll send you a new registration email. Use the most recent email you receive to register and access the application.

Uploading documents

Find out what documents you'll need, what formats we accept and what to do if you've uploaded the wrong information.

Identity checks

If you're having trouble verifying your identity, these questions may help.

Why wasn't my selfie accepted?

When taking your photo:

  • make sure you're the only person in the image
  • use a well-lit area
  • remove glasses and face coverings where possible
  • look directly at the camera
  • follow the instructions shown on screen
