Wells Fargo credit card requirements include having a credit score of 700+ (for most cards) and providing standard personal information such as your name, address, and date of birth. A Social Security Number (SSN) or an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) is also required, and all applicants must be 18+ years old.
