While each lender has unique application and eligibility requirements, most will require similar documentation.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing which documents you need and having them ready before you apply may increase your chances of approval and help you receive your funds more quickly.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"one\">1. Application form<\/h3>\n<p>All lenders require you to fill out an application form to be approved for a loan. If you\u2019re borrowing from an online lender, the process is done entirely online. If you apply for a personal loan with your local bank or credit union, you may be able to complete the application in person with a bank representative.<\/p>\n<p>The application will likely look slightly different from one lender to another, but will usually ask for information such as:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your full name<\/li>\n<li>Contact information<\/li>\n<li>Address history<\/li>\n<li>Date of birth<\/li>\n<li>Social Security number<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to choose a loan amount, answer questions about the purpose of your loan and provide financial details about your monthly income, bills and debt obligations.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"two\">2. Proof of identity<\/h3>\n<p>Lenders must verify your identity to approve your loan. Two forms of identification are usually required, and acceptable documents may include your:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Birth certificate<\/li>\n<li>Certificate of citizenship<\/li>\n<li>Driver\u2019s license<\/li>\n<li>Military ID<\/li>\n<li>Passport<\/li>\n<li>Social Security card<\/li>\n<li>State-issued ID<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The lender needs to be able to read your identification \u2014 take a clear picture with your smartphone or use a scanner to avoid delays.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"three\">3. Employer and income verification<\/h3>\n<p>Personal loan lenders rely on your income to determine how much you qualify for. Because you aren\u2019t required to put up collateral to back an unsecured personal loan, you must prove that you have a steady stream of verifiable income to be approved.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re traditionally employed, you can verify your income with a few documents, including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pay stubs<\/li>\n<li>Tax returns<\/li>\n<li>W-2s and 1099s<\/li>\n<li>Bank statements<\/li>\n<li>Employer\u2019s contact information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re self-employed, you may need any or all of the following documents:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bank statements<\/li>\n<li>1099s for the past two years<\/li>\n<li>Tax returns for the past two years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you work for a regular employer, you may be able to access your pay stubs and tax forms through your payroll provider\u2019s online database. You can also contact your human resources or payroll department for assistance. Self-employed applicants may need to work with a CPA or other tax professional for help gathering the required tax forms.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"four\">4. Proof of address<\/h3>\n<p>You must supply proof of your current address and information about how long you\u2019ve lived there. You may not qualify if you\u2019ve moved around a lot or just relocated to a new area \u2014 if you\u2019ve recently moved, you may have to provide information about your previous address as well. While some lenders may require specific documentation, you can usually use one of the following:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Utility bill<\/li>\n<li>Lease or rental agreement<\/li>\n<li>Mortgage statement<\/li>\n<li>Proof of insurance on your home or vehicle<\/li>\n<li>Voter registration card<\/li>\n<li>Property tax receipt<\/li>\n<li>Bank or credit card statement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you need to confirm a change of address, the U.S. Postal Service offers resources to assist you. While the fastest and easiest way to do this is online, you can also visit your local post office and complete the form in person.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"five\">5. Bank account information<\/h3>\n<p>Most lenders will deposit your loan funds directly into your account, so you must provide your bank account information. You may also be required to set up an automatic payment through your bank to get the best personal loan rates.<\/p>\n<p>If you apply with your current financial institution, they\u2019ll have your information handy. If you choose to work with a new lender, have the following ready:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Name of bank<\/li>\n<li>Routing number<\/li>\n<li>Checking account number<\/li>\n<li>Your user ID and password to your account (to verify your account through the lender\u2019s secure system)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"editorial-insight-box --insight-box +mg-vertical-md\" data-template=\"insight_box\">\n<div class=\"card-body border-l-4 border-blue-800\">\n<div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n<p>\n                    More about bank account access\n                <\/p>\n<div class=\"content wysiwyg wysiwyg--flush\">\n<p>Lenders will often request that you link your bank account to a secure system to grant the lender \u201cread-only\u201d access to your account. This means they can see and verify your account, but can\u2019t perform any transactions. This is a standard and safe method of verification<\/p>\n<p>You can opt out of this, but you\u2019ll need to verify your account by accepting small withdrawals and confirming the specific amounts. This option could delay your loan funds for several business days, but may be a good option if you don\u2019t want to give the lender any sort of access to your account.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<h2 id=\"other\" data-position=\"1\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-1-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"Other information lenders use to approve your loan\" data-outcome=\"\">Other information lenders use to approve your loan<\/h2>\n<p>Once you apply, lenders will consider several factors when approving your loan and determining what rate to offer you.<\/p>\n<p>Take the time to improve your credit and pay down other debt before you apply. This may help your chance of approval, especially if you have a high DTI or a low credit score. <\/p>\n<h2 data-position=\"2\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-2-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"Bottom line\" data-outcome=\"\">Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>Gathering the information and documents you\u2019ll need before applying for a personal loan can save you time and avoid potential funding delays. Make sure all your paperwork is legible and provide documents as quickly as possible to speed up the process.<\/p>\n<p>Not all lenders have the same requirements, so ensure you are aware of the general documentation criteria before applying. By being prepared, you can increase your chances of approval and receive your funds more quickly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"HelpfulCTA mx-auto flex flex-col items-center gap-6 my-6 py-12 text-base border-y border-gray-200\" data-helpful-cta=\"\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" id=\"did-you-find-this-helpful\" data-type=\"cta\" data-location=\"article-bottom\" data-position=\"banner\" data-text=\"Did you find this page helpful?\">\n<div class=\"HelpfulCTA-initial w-full flex flex-col items-center gap-4\" data-cta-initial=\"\">\n<div class=\"HelpfulCTA-question text-lg font-bold text-center text-gray-900\">\n            Did you find this page helpful?<\/p>\n<div id=\"B2AroXYqBr\" class=\"hidden\">\n<div class=\"wysiwyg wysiwyg--sm wysiwyg--flush max-w-xs\">\n<p class=\"mb-6 text-base\">\n                            <strong class=\"block font-bold text-gray-900\">Why we ask for feedback<\/strong><br \/>\n                            Your feedback helps us improve our content and services.
