“P.O.I stands for proof of income. This is a typical requirement for all car loans. To prove your income, you only need to provide pay stubs for the past several months.
P.O.R. stands for proof of residency. This is a federal requirement to get a car loan. For proof of residency, you can use numerous different documents, including a:
  • Driver’s license
  • Utility bill
  • Phone bill
  • State-issued ID
