How to recognise a genuine record

The address

Official records only live on serialpassport.com. Any other address is not ours.

The verification code

Each certificate of proof carries a code. Check it at serialpassport.com/verify.

The history

Every event is chained to the previous one, so a changed entry no longer matches.

The signature and seal

Certificates are signed by Michael van Montfoort on behalf of Serial Passport, with our seal.
