During your auto refinance, you'll need to provide us with some documents about your vehicle and yourself. The documents must be accurate, clear, and readable.
The documents you’ll need are based on the offer you selected, your lender and your state.
For each document you send, they must be accurate, clear, and easy to read. This lets us process your auto refinance much faster, so you can start saving on your auto loan.
To make things easier for you, you can upload your documents directly from your smartphone. Here’s how you should do that.
Using a document scanning app
iOS devices (iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch)
Do you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch? You should be able to use your phone’s built-in document scanner, which makes scanning and signing documents super easy! To find the scanner:
Open the Notes app
Create a new note
Tap the Camera button
Tap Scan Documents

Using your smartphone camera
Turn off your flash
The flash on your camera can make your documents harder to read. We recommend taking pictures in a well-lit room instead. Avoid shadows for the best quality image.

* This information is estimated based on consumers whose auto refinance loan funded through Caribou between 11/1/2022 and 9/1/2023, and had an existing auto loan on their credit report. These borrowers saved an average of $115.58 per month. Refinance savings may result from a lower interest rate, longer term, or both. There is no guarantee of savings. Your actual savings, if any, may vary based on interest rates, the repayment term, the amount financed, and other factors.
+ To check the refinance rates and terms you qualify for, we conduct a soft credit pull that will not affect your credit score. However, if you choose a loan product and continue your application, we or one of our lending partners will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit pull and may affect your credit.
++ Social security number is required should you choose to move forward in the loan application process.

Lowest rates are reserved for the highest qualified borrowers. We do not guarantee that you will receive any loan offers or that your loan application will be approved. If approved, your actual rate will depend on a variety of factors, including term of loan, a responsible financial history, income and other factors. Offers not available in MD, MS, NE, NV, WV.
