Create Custom Document Types

Last updated: May 29, 2025

  • A document check is a specific type of check designed for document collection.

  • Dotfile provides a list of native document types by default. Click here to see the list of default document types that can be collected in a document check.

  • If a required document type is not covered by the native options, you can create custom document types to fit your needs.

  • When creating a document check:

    • Specify the type of entity (individual, company) the document applies to.

    • Indicate whether the document is to be collected from the client or is intended for internal use only.

    • Define the validation criteria to be automatically applied by Dotfile’s AI, using a prompt.
