Digital certificate of authenticity

Replace fragile paper certificates with permanent product records.

Auth3D creates web-based certificates of authenticity that connect a real object to its maker, design, identifier, image of record, and provenance details.

Authenticity should travel with the object. A permanent record keeps the object, maker, owner-facing story, and identifier connected after the first sale.

What makes a digital certificate useful.

A digital certificate works best when it can be verified from the object itself and still make sense years later.

Object-specific identity

Create one record for the individual object instead of only a general product page.

Visual reference

Use an image of record so buyers can compare the physical item with the certificate.

Maker and design story

Show the designer, brand, manufacturer, and design context in one place.

Durable transfer value

Support resale, collecting, warranty, and owner confidence with a link that keeps resolving.

For makers and brands

Create richer proof for small runs, numbered editions, and objects with a story worth preserving.

  • Register each object before it ships
  • Attach a QR code, NFC tag, RFID tag, or serial
  • Publish maker attribution and image of record
  • Use one record for authenticity and support context

For buyers and collectors

A digital COA gives buyers a direct way to check the object without relying only on a printed card.

  • Scan the object or label
  • Check the permanent Auth3D page
  • Review provenance and design context
  • Keep the verification link with the item
Best-fit use cases

Objects that deserve more than a generic receipt.

Auth3D is built for products where authenticity, provenance, or design attribution affects trust.

Limited editions

Create a separate digital certificate for each numbered object in a run.

Collectible design objects

Keep maker attribution and visual proof with the object as it changes hands.

Custom fabrication

Connect a commissioned piece to the correct design, maker, and production notes.

Artisan products

Give buyers a record that confirms origin without requiring a marketplace account.

Luxury and premium goods

Use the record as a customer-facing authenticity page alongside physical security measures.

Replacement components

Show that a component is the correct genuine replacement for a serviceable product.

Questions

Common questions

Is a digital certificate better than a paper certificate?

A digital certificate is easier to scan, update, share, and keep connected to the object. Paper can still be included, but Auth3D gives the object a persistent verification page.

Can buyers transfer ownership through Auth3D?

Auth3D currently focuses on permanent product records and authentication lookup. Ownership-transfer workflows can be planned around the record strategy when needed.

Can a certificate be hidden from public galleries?

Yes. Records can be public, hidden but accessible by direct link, private, or password-protected depending on how the object should be verified.
