How customers register for Carpay
Carpay offers two ways for customers to register and create an online payment account.
Option 1: Standard Registration
Most customers can register using:
First name
Last name
Last 4 digits of their Social Security number (SSN)
This option allows customers to self-register without dealer assistance when SSN information is available.
Option 2: Registration Code (No SSN Required)
If a customer is unable to register using the last 4 digits of their SSN, Carpay provides a registration code option.
A registration code allows the customer to complete registration without entering SSN information and can be used anytime standard registration isn’t available or doesn’t work.
