What documents and conditions are required for a car loan?
For the borrower: ID card, official income verified via ASAN Finance, a driving licence (at some banks) and a clean credit history. For the car: a dealer invoice (new) or registration certificate plus valuation (used), a comprehensive insurance policy, and registration of the pledge with the traffic police. Conditions: age 21–65, down payment 10–30%, monthly payment under 40% of income, term up to 5–7 years.
A car loan needs more paperwork than a consumer loan because the collateral (the car) is formalised. For a new car the process runs between the dealer and the bank and takes 1–3 days; for a used car, valuation and notarisation are added. This page separates documents by borrower and car, shows the process stage by stage and notes the points that often cause delays.
What you need
- 1 Borrower: ID card, ASAN Finance consent or income certificate, driving licence at some banks
- 2 New car: dealer invoice and down payment receipt; used: registration certificate, valuation report, seller's ID
- 3 Comprehensive insurance policy (bank as beneficiary) and registration of the pledge with the traffic police
- 4 A guarantor or extra collateral only if income is insufficient

How to apply?
What to watch for?
- ✓ Get pre-approval from the bank before visiting the dealer; you then choose a car knowing your limit and can negotiate the dealer discount.
- ✓ If the car will be registered to a family member, the borrower and owner must be the same person; most banks do not accept otherwise.
- ✓ Plan for insurance and registration costs (300–1,500 AZN) on top of the down payment.
- ✓ Check the pledge-release procedure in the contract: after closure the bank must issue a letter to the traffic police.
Frequently asked questions
I have no driving licence; can I get a car loan?
Many banks do not require one, since someone else may drive the car. Some banks do make it a condition; ask before applying.
How many days does a car loan take?
For a new car, preliminary approval takes minutes and full processing 1–3 business days. For a used car, with valuation and notary, 3–7 business days.
Whose name is the car in until it is fully paid?
Yours; you are the owner and the bank is the pledgee. The registration certificate and traffic police record carry a pledge note; a sale is possible with the bank's consent.
