Borrower's Authorization Form Template
Get authorization to pull credit and verify financial information — before the lending process begins.
A mortgage, auto loan, or personal loan application doesn't go anywhere without authorization from the borrower to access their financial records. This form captures that consent clearly and creates a signed record your compliance team needs.
The template covers the borrower's full legal name and identifying information, the lender or institution requesting access, the scope of authorization (credit check, verification of income and employment, bank records), the purpose of the inquiry, the duration of the authorization, and a dated signature. Co-borrower authorization is included when applicable.
Clear authorization language at the start of the lending process protects the lender and ensures borrowers understand what they're consenting to — before any information is accessed.
Typically: credit reports from one or more bureaus, employment and income verification, bank account records, tax returns, and other financial documentation relevant to the loan decision.
Yes. Under FCRA in the U.S., a lender must have a permissible purpose and, for most consumer loans, written consent from the borrower before pulling a hard inquiry credit report.

A borrower can attempt to revoke authorization, but if a credit pull has already been made, the inquiry stays on their credit report. Once the authorization is signed and used, revocation doesn't undo completed actions.
