Verification of Employment (VOE)

Mike Starr·Reviewed August 2026

Verification of Employment is the process lenders use to confirm a borrower's job status, income, and length of employment. Lenders may contact an employer directly or use a third-party service. Most lenders require at least two years of employment history in the same field, and some will re-verify employment shortly before closing.
