What information does Capital One require when I apply for a credit card?
You’ll need to provide personal information, including your:
- Full name
- Social Security number
- Date of birth
- Physical address (No P.O. Boxes)
- Estimated gross annual income
- Checking and/or savings account information
Can I add an authorized user to my card?
Yes. You can add authorized users online after yousign in, or you can call the number on the back of your card. Please note that to add an authorized user to your account, you must be the primary cardholder, secondary cardholder, power of attorney, or account manager.

How can I find out the status of my credit card application?
If you apply by phone or online, you will often get a response in 60 seconds. However, in some cases we need to collect additional information to make a decision.
You can check the status of your application anytime by calling 1-800-903-9177. We will notify you in writing of our decision within 7 to 10 days of your application.
When will I receive my new credit card?
If you’re approved, you should receive your Capital One card, credit limit information, and welcome materials by mail within approximately 7 to 10 business days. However, customers approved for a Secured Mastercard card will need to pay the deposit in full before the card ships—then it should be approximately 7 to 10 business days.
