Passport 3n1 Solution


What is Passport 3n1?


The FormFree Passport 3n1 solution provides verification of a borrower’s assets, income, and employment in one convenient report.  Using asset data and extracted data from a borrower’s uploaded paystub, our advanced platform leverages AI, machine learning and natural language processing to deliver a corroborating view into the borrower’s income and employment.

How does the Borrower experience change if a lender client is configured for Passport 3n1?

  • Borrowers will complete the same enrollment process as with VOA, except with the addition of an option to upload one (1) paystub after they have linked their bank accounts. Only lenders who choose to use Passport will view the paystub upload functionality.It is not required for borrowers to upload a paystub and they can continue the process to verify assets.
  • Each Borrower on a loan will have their own Passport report.
  • The Borrower submits the order as usual by clicking the “Finish and Share” button.

How does the Lender experience change if the lender client is configured for Passport 3n1?

  • Lenders will receive the Passport 3n1 report and a copy of the paystub image in the same pdf file as the VOA report.
  • The PDF report generated by the order (and any refreshes) will include: Passport 3n1 report + image of paystub uploaded + standard VOA report.
  • The Passport 3n1 report generates whenever the VOA report is ready to generate. The Employment Extraction and Paystub OCR analysis may still be in process when the report is first generated. The lender will need to refresh the report after ~30 minutes to pull in complete data for the Passport 3n1 report.
