Authority Signal: Updated as of Jan 2026

I. Mandatory Documentation

• Applicant ID (MyKad or NRIC/Singpass): Official proof of identity. Why it’s needed: Required for KYC, anti-fraud, and statutory compliance.
• Vehicle Proof of Ownership (VOC / Log Card): Certified proof of vehicle rights. Requirement: PDF or image scan; enables accurate auto-fill via OCR and valuation.
• Sales Order (VSO) or Invoice: Confirms transaction intent and price. Why it’s needed: Validates deal value for LTV and financier underwriting.
• Proof of Income (Payslip, NOA, bank statement): Confirms applicant’s repayment ability. Requirement: Most recent 3 months; supports TDSR and credit scoring.
• Company Registration (for corporate buyers): SSM or ACRA Bizfile. Why it’s needed: Verifies legal entity and director authority.
• Applicant’s Signature & Dealer Stamp: Digital or scanned. Why it’s needed: Legally binds all application documents.
• Supporting Attachments (e.g., Insurance Certificate, COE Renewal Quote): As requested by financier or platform.

II. Supplementary Materials (The Competitive Edge)

• Guarantor Documentation (if required): Boosts approval odds for high LTV or borderline applicants.
• Credit Bureau Report: Pre-emptively screens for adverse records or bankruptcy status.
• Proof of Address (Utility Bill/Bank Statement): Sometimes required for further KYC verification.
