Do I have to be on the electoral roll for car finance?

Being on the electoral roll is not a specific requirement for getting car finance. However, you might find it more difficult as not being on the electoral roll may impact your credit score.

We’d recommend registering to vote as it’s one way you could improve your credit score. Checking your credit score and doing small things to improve it is one of the ways you could increase your chances of being accepted.

Also, lenders use the information on your credit report to confirm your identity. Not being on the electoral roll might make the finance process slower, because a lender may need other documents to verify your application.
