That is a smart move, considering the automobile service industry is booming, and brands like Doctor Garage have made it easier for aspiring entrepreneurs to enter the industry. Whether you are applying to Doctor Garage’s multi-brand two-wheeler service franchise or our newly launched car service franchise, having the right documents ready from day one can fast-track your onboarding and help you avoid unnecessary delays. In this guide, we break down exactly what you need and why each document matters.
What Proper Documentation Matters in Franchise Applications?
Getting your documents ready is more than just a formality. For the franchisor, it is how they verify your identity, understand your financial standing, confirm your business credentials and ensure your location is suitable for an automobile service centre franchise. So if you are ready with proper documentation, it speeds up everything from verification to agreement signing to launch day.
Documents Required to Apply for a Doctor Garage Franchise
#1 Identify Proof (KYC Documentation)
The first step towards a car and bike service franchise is having proper identification proof. You will need a government-issued photo ID like that are acceptable documents:
- Aadhaar Card
- PAN Card (Mandatory for all business & financial transactions in India)
- Passport
- Voter ID card
- Driving License
Pro Tip: Keep both self-attested photocopies and originals ready. PAN Card is non-negotiable for any franchising agreement involving financial transactions.

#2 Address Proof (Residential)
Your current residential address needs to be verified through any of the following:
- Aadhaar Card (if address is updated)
- Utility bills (electricity, gas, water- not older than 3 months)
- Passport
- Bank passport or bank statements
- Rent agreement (if you are residing in a rented property)
#3 Passport-size Photographs
Typically, 4 to 6 passport-sized photos of the two wheeler service franchise India applicant are required for the application forms, agreement documentation and franchise ID reports.
#4 Business Entity Documents (If applying as a firm or company)
If you plan to operate the franchise under a registered business entity rather than as an individual, you will need to submit:
- For Proprietorship: GST registration certificate and trade license
- For Partnership Firm: Partnership deed, PAN of the firm and all partners’ KYC documents.
- For a Private Limited Company/LLP: Certification of Incorporation, Memorandum of Association (MoA), Articles of Association (AoA) and Director/Partner KYC.
#5 GST Registration Certificate
A GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) is essential. As a Doctor Garage franchise partner, you will be purchasing tools, equipment, spare parts and branded supplies, all of which require GST invoicing. If you don’t have GST registration yet, the application can typically be processed quickly online or via the GST portal.
#6 Bank Details and Financial Documentations
Doctor Garage’s automotive business franchise follows a transparent and structured investment model. To verify your financial capabilities and facilitate smooth transactions, you will need:
- Cancelled cheque of your current/savings bank account
- Recent bank statements (6 months)
- Bank account details in the name of the applicants or the registered business entity
For reference, Doctor Garage’s 2 wheeler service franchise starts under 10 lacs, and the car service center franchise is 17.99 lacs, making it one of the most affordable automobile franchise opportunities in India.
#7 Property/premises Documents
This is one of the most critical sections of the applications. The premise where your service centre will operate must be verified and found suitable. You will need to submit:
- If you own the property: sale deed or title document, property tax receipt or electricity bill in your name.
- If the property is rented/leased: Registered rent/lease agreement with the landlord’s details and NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the landlord permitting commercial use as a vehicle service centre.
- Space Requirement Note: For DG’s multi brand two wheeler workshop franchise, the recommended workspace is typically 350 to 500 sq.ft. For new launched car service station franchise, a larger space would be naturally required to accommodate four-wheeler.
