## Where to Find Your Loan Number
Your loan number is a unique identifier assigned to your car loan account. It’s typically used to make payments, track your loan status, and communicate with your lender. Knowing where to find your loan number can save you time and hassle, especially if you need to make a payment or contact your lender quickly.
**1. Loan Documents**
The most common place to find your loan number is on your loan documents, such as the loan agreement or promissory note. These documents are provided to you when you sign for your loan. The loan number is usually located near the top of the document or on the first page.
**2. Monthly Statements**
Your monthly loan statements will also include your loan number. This is typically found near the top of the statement, next to your account number or name.
**3. Online Account**
If you have an online account with your lender, you can usually find your loan number within the account dashboard or profile section. Some lenders will display your loan number prominently on the home page of your account. Others may require you to click on a specific tab or menu option to view your loan details, including your loan number.
**4. Payment Coupon Book**
If you received a payment coupon book with your loan documents, the loan number will be printed on the front cover. Each payment coupon will also have the loan number printed on it.
**5. On Your Car**
In some cases, your loan number may be located on a sticker or label inside your car. This is typically found on the driver’s side door jamb, glove box, or trunk lid.
**6. Contact Your Lender**
If you can’t find your loan number anywhere else, you can always contact your lender directly. They will be able to provide you with your loan number over the phone, by email, or through their online customer support platform.
