FAQ
Can I buy a car with an ITIN in Dallas?
Yes. At CARNOVA you can apply for financing with your ITIN instead of an SSN. Financing goes through a bank and is always upon approval; the lender decides approval, rate, term and down payment. You can also pay for the car in full.
What documents do I need to buy with an ITIN?
Your ITIN letter or number, a photo ID (valid passport or matrícula consular; ask which one the lender accepts), proof of income (pay stubs or bank statements) and a recent proof of address in your name.
Do I need a credit history?
Not to apply. Many people buy their first car with no credit history. The lender reviews your application and decides; we can't promise approval.
How much down payment do I need?
It depends on the car and the lender. A larger down payment lowers what you finance and your monthly payment. Use our My First Car tool to see cars that may fit your down payment.
How can I pay my down payment at CARNOVA?
At CARNOVA, payments (including your down payment) are accepted by cash, cashier's check or Zelle only. We do not accept debit or credit cards.
I'm paid in cash. Can I apply?
You can apply, but lenders need income they can verify. Depositing your income in a bank account every week for 3 to 6 months helps a lot.
I don't have an SSN or ITIN. What can I do?
Most lenders need an SSN or ITIN to finance. You can apply for an ITIN with the IRS (Form W-7), often with help from a certified preparer. If you pay for the car in full, you only need your photo ID.
