You’ll need to include the following in your application:

• Your full legal name
• Your current and previous addresses
• Your annual income (gross)
• Your employment details

During the screening process, the credit card provider reviews your personal credit file through a credit bureau such as TransUnion or Equifax to check if you’re eligible for the new Capital One credit card and credit limit. This will result in a hard credit check and your overall credit score may go down a few points. As long as you pay your Capital One credit card balance on time, your credit score will bounce back.

If you pass the Capital One credit card eligibility check, your new credit card will be quickly issued and mailed to your given address. Once you complete your new Capital One credit card activation, you’ll be able to use your card immediately.
