There are several Documents Needed For Auto Refinancing. A variety of identity, residence, income, and vehicle-related documentation is required to refinance a loan. Different lenders require different documents needed for auto refinancing. Your unique situation, such as your credit score, your type of income, or whether you are adding/deleting someone on the loan will also dictate which documents are needed. Not only are the documents collected, but they are reviewed. Your documents need to be current (usually within 30 or 60 days of the contract date), legible and include data that matches the application data.
As your documents contain information that should remain private and secure, it’s important to keep your documents safe. RefiJet provides a secure portal to safely upload your documents as you provide them for the refinance process.
