Can you refinance a car loan if you don't have a driver's license?

Refinancing a car loan without a driver's license is possible, but it depends on the lender and your specific situation. Most lenders don't actually require a valid driver's license to refinance—they care about your credit history, income, the vehicle's value, and whether you can prove you own it. What matters more is having a government-issued ID (passport, state ID card, ITIN card) and proof of income and residence. The vehicle itself needs to be titled in your name or jointly with someone who can sign. The real question is why you don't have a driver's license. If it's suspended or revoked, some lenders will still work with you, but others won't touch the deal. If you've never had one, that's usually fine as long as you have another valid ID. If it's expired, renewal is straightforward in Florida—you can do it online or at the DMV without a driving test if it's not too old. The lender will want to see current identification before funding. When refinancing, you're essentially getting a new loan to pay off the old one, so the lender underwrites you fresh. They'll pull your credit, verify income (W-2s, pay stubs, bank statements), and confirm the car's value and lien status. Having no driver's license won't automatically disqualify you, but it might slow things down if you can't produce another clear ID.
