Cosigning at a Glance

If you’re just getting started on the car purchasing process or looking to rebuild your credit, you may need a co-signer to sign onto the vehicle terms. Co-signers are required if your credit and income alone don’t meet the lender’s qualifications for a loan.

A co-signer is typically a friend or family member who takes full responsibility for the loan if you cannot pay. They give the lender extra insurance against missed payments, making it more possible for drivers with lower credit scores or income to take home a vehicle.

Cosigning on the Day Of

At the end of the day, both you and the co-signer will be responsible for the debt incurred. For that reason, your co-signer will also need to have a credit check, income verification, an employment history check, and a few other essentials. The process is the same as any other loan or lease, but this time there are two names on the paperwork. That means you’ll want to pick someone with good credit or work history to co-sign.

If you are approved with a co-signer, you must both bring your IDs. You should also bring employment information and proof of income, as well as proof of residence.
