eVault Standards and SMART Doc® Validation Rules

MISMO published revisions to the eVault Standards and SMART Doc® Validation Rules as Final status on October 6, 2025.

The MISMO eVault standards were designed to ensure that eVaults have the proper functionality for all industry participants. eVaults using the standards, including the validation rules, ensure seamless interoperability for lenders trading eNotes.

The SMART Doc Validation Rules document is a consolidated set of rules that outlines the components and fields that are expected in an eNote. Uniformity of eVault platforms and eNote Validation Rules are necessary to alleviate friction between trading partners.

What It Includes

  • eVault Standards Artifact with no changes.
  • SMART Doc® Validation Rules update with minor corrections and clarifying edits to improve implementer understanding and alignment across systems intended to reduce ambiguity during validation and transfer of Category 1 (eNote) documents.
