Documents to Bring When Buying a Car
Valid Driver’s License
To drive your desired vehicle off the lot, the dealer needs to know that you’re a legally registered driver. Your license also serves as identification for your check or other form of payment.
Proof of Car Insurance
If you already know which car you’re buying, you should call ahead to set up a new insurance policy. Or, you can call your insurance company while you’re at the dealership to have them email or fax over an insurance card to the dealer. We suggest being prepared ahead of time, if possible, to ensure the smoothest car-buying process.
Current Vehicle Registration For Trade-In
If you’re trading in your current vehicle, you’ll need to provide a copy of your registration to prove that you are the owner and to ensure that ownership can easily be transferred from you to the dealer.
Proof of Residency
If you’re trying to get approved for an auto loan, you’ll need to supply proof of residency. A utility bill will do just the trick to verify that the information on your application is correct.

I’ve been planning to purchase an SUV, that’s why I am also considering to buy car insurance, so I’ll be protected. I’m glad you shared this; I’d make sure to process my auto insurance first and have faxed over an insurance card to the dealer. Of course, I’d also keep in mind to prepare my valid driver’s license because as you’ve mentioned, this may also serve as an identification for any mode of payment that I’ll do.
