You can verify your employment with a car dealer or lender by providing at least two recent paycheck stubs that show your year-to-date earnings and the date the check was issued. This shows the lender how often you get paid and how much you earn. Be sure to provide your most recent paycheck stubs. A lender may not accept older stubs because that could be a sign you’re no longer employed. This is usually sufficient enough to prove employment and income. It’s very rare that a lender will contact your employer to verify income. This typically only happens if you cannot provide your paycheck stubs. Providing your two most recent paycheck stubs is usually enough to verify your income and employment. Depending on your credit score and loan amount, some lenders may not even need proof of employment. Don’t assume this is the case, though. You’re best served if you bring your most recent pay stubs with you to the dealer before you apply for a loan. If you don’t have your paycheck stubs, your employer can likely print out your payment records for you.
