Step-by-Step Instructions
The process of qualifying for a CAP Loan begins when you complete your application for Armed Forces Mutual Membership, which includes the CAP Loan benefit.
Gather the Following Information & Documents
At the end of the application process, you will be asked to upload electronic copies of supporting documents like your military ID, LES, or medical information, so you’ll want to have them with you before you start. Your progress will be saved automatically and you will receive an email with a link that can return you to your application where you left off if you need to stop at any time. Be sure to keep that link handy. Without it, you will need to restart the application process from the beginning. Completing your application should take about 20 minutes.
Your Social Security Number & Date of Birth
Addresses of those to be named in your policy (Owners and Payers)
A copy of a government-issued ID (driver’s license or passport)
