I am performing a HMDA compliance review and in looking at a loan appliation that in HMDA reportable, I noticed that the applicant marked "female" as their gender. We keep copies of driver's licenses and I can clearly tell they are "male". Can I change the application to indicate the correct gender status? Or should we just report it as documented on the application?

out of the frying pan...
If the borrower marked it themselves, keep it as-is. Your job is to make sure your LAR matches the documents, not to make sure the borrower marks it correctly. (No snark - I've run into the problem several times. Even had one applicant who marked ALL the race choices just to be difficult. smile )

OK
As much as i think you ought to be able to correct it, i don't see any support for that in the GIR. I think the consensus is to simply report what the applicants checked on the application.
