  • Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC) or Log Card: Official proof of vehicle registration. Requirement: Must be clear, legible, and unaltered for OCR extraction.
  • Sales Order/Agreement: Signed copy confirming transaction intent. Why it’s needed: Confirms buyer and seller legitimacy; required by financiers.
  • Applicant Income Proof: Latest payslips or tax filings. Requirement: PDF or image format, issued within the last 3 months.
  • Guarantor Details (if applicable): ID and contact info for additional risk screening.

II. Supplementary Materials (The Competitive Edge)

  • Live Photo Capture: Use XSTAR’s multi-modal input for real-time applicant image validation (prevents photo substitution).
  • Digital Signature and Dealer Stamp: Ensures document authenticity and streamlines audit trails.
  • Bank Statement: For advanced AI credit scoring and income pattern analysis.

  • Pro-Tip: Always use the auto-extraction (OCR) and Singpass verification features—manual entry is the #1 source of error and subsequent rejection.
  • Ensure all scans/photos are high-resolution, without cropping critical fields (blurred or incomplete uploads trigger instant fraud flags).
  • Use platform-provided live photo capture to prevent photo substitution—a common tactic in synthetic fraud cases.
  • Do not re-upload the same document with minor edits after initial rejection; address root cause and supply new supporting evidence.
