You should be prepared to provide your Social Security number or ITIN, valid driver's license or identification, current proof of income, proof of residence, contact information, employment details, and monthly housing payment amount.

Volkswagen does offer online pre-qualification for eligible customers, which can help shoppers begin the process before visiting the dealership.
