The Problem

The high-value market has
a trust crisis.

Paper certificates get lost. Provenance gets separated from pieces. Buyers can't verify what they're purchasing — and sellers pay the price.

01
Forgery is rampant
False attributions and fabricated certificates are widespread. Paper documentation is easily lost or faked with no reliable way to verify authenticity.
02
Provenance disappears
Records get separated during house moves, estate clearances, and resales. A piece with a verifiable history — worth significantly more — loses its story and its value.
03
Value is lost at every sale
Buyers routinely discount by 20–40% when provenance can't be verified. This costs the UK market hundreds of millions in lost value every year.
How It Works

Simple for makers.
Instant for buyers.

The entire process takes minutes to set up and seconds to verify. The technology is invisible — your clients just tap their phone.

✍️
Register your piece
Log into your private dashboard and enter the piece's details — materials, creation date, photos, and provenance history. Takes under five minutes.
Passport is issued
A permanent digital passport is created instantly — recorded on the blockchain, tamper-proof, and linked to an NFC chip embedded in the piece.
📱
Anyone taps to verify
Any buyer — in a gallery, at auction, or in a private sale — taps their smartphone to the chip. The full verified record appears instantly. No app needed.
♾️
History builds forever
Every ownership transfer is recorded on-chain automatically. The chain of custody grows with every sale — permanently adding value with every owner.

What Buyers See

A beautiful record,
not a blockchain.

When anyone taps the NFC chip, this is what appears on their phone — a clean, elegant record of the piece's full story. The technology is entirely invisible to them.

Maker identity, materials, and creation date — permanently verified
Full chain of ownership — every hand the piece has passed through

Impossible to alter or falsify after issue
Levels of Verification

Not all claims are equal.
Every passport shows its level.

A passport is only as good as the trust behind it. So each one carries a clear verification level — a buyer always knows exactly how thoroughly a piece has been checked.

Level 01
Self-Certified
Details entered and declared by the owner. The honest starting point for every passport.
Level 02
Document Verified
Backed by supporting evidence — a certificate, receipt or appraisal — reviewed by Provenance Passport Co.
Level 03
Third-Party Verified
Independently confirmed by a specialist — a GIA appraiser, auction house or recognised certifier.

Most pieces begin self-certified and climb as evidence is added — so trust builds over time, in plain sight.
