What Documents Do I Need to Apply for a Title Loan?

If you’re considering applying for a title loan, it’s important to know what documents are required to streamline the application process. Title loans use your vehicle as collateral, so lenders need to ensure that you meet the necessary qualifications and have ownership of the car. At Lendo USA, we make the application process as smooth as possible. Here’s a list of essential documents you’ll need to get started.

1. Vehicle Title

The most crucial document is the lien-free vehicle title in your name. The title must show that you are the sole owner of the vehicle, free from any outstanding loans or liens. If your title has a lien, you’ll need to resolve that before applying.

2. Identification

You’ll need a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, to confirm your identity and age. Most lenders require that applicants are at least 18 years old.

3. Proof of Residency

Lenders typically request a utility bill, lease agreement, or bank statement as proof of residency. This helps confirm that you live within the area where the lender operates.

4. Proof of Income

Though title loans are secured by your vehicle, some lenders still require proof that you can repay the loan. This could include pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements showing regular income. For those who are self-employed or receive non-traditional income, bank statements may also suffice.

5. Vehicle Registration

A current vehicle registration document shows that your car is properly registered with the state and that it is legally eligible for a title loan.

6. Proof of Insurance

You will likely need to show proof of active car insurance to demonstrate that the vehicle is protected against accidents or damage while you are repaying the loan.

7. Spare Car Keys

Some lenders may ask for a spare set of car keys. While you’ll keep driving your vehicle during the loan term, the spare key serves as additional collateral.

8. Photos of the Vehicle

Many lenders ask for photos of your vehicle, showing the exterior, interior, and odometer reading. These photos help the lender assess the car’s condition and verify its value.
