Label Inquiry

HUD Label Inquiry

Looking for a replacement label? All transportable sections of manufactured homes built in the U.S. after June 15, 1976 must contain a red certification label. The label is the manufacturer's certification that the home section is built in accordance with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's construction and safety standards in effect on the date the home was manufactured. HUD Standards cover Body and Frame Requirements, Thermal Protection, Plumbing, Electrical, Fire Safety, and other aspects of the home.

A verification letter of HUD Labeling Records can be requested online, to be used in lieu of having labels on the home. Please provide the HUD Certification Label Number, including the IPIA, manufacturer, manufacturer serial number and date of manufacture. This information can be sent to:

Replacement labels are only issued to manufacturers for damaged or lost labels from the date of manufacture until the home is sold. It is not the intent of the Program to reissue labels for lost labels to homeowners years after the home was constructed. HUD has instituted a process to issue an affidavit for lost labels in accordance with FHA-appraisal guidelines. Processing time may take up to a week depending on the information provided.
