What documents do you need to get a car loan?

I want to finance a car, but I want to do it as quickly as possible. What documents do I need to collect to streamline the approval process?

Streamlining the
car loan
process by having all your documentation together is a smart move. When you’re applying online or in-person, you should have:
  • An ID
  • Proof of income
  • Banking and credit history, such as bank statements and documentation on other loans
  • Proof of residency
  • The method of down payment, if applicable
  • Vehicle information, such as the make and model or the vehicle identification number (VIN)
All of these are fairly easy to obtain—even car insurance, if you shop with the

Best of luck with a speedy loan!
