Verify a document
The public page anyone can open, without an account, to check a document is genuine.
Every document has a public verification page. Open it from the document's page, from its link, or by scanning its QR code with any phone camera. No account or app is needed.
What the page tells you
The top of the page gives one clear result:
| Result | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Authentic | Every required signer has signed, and the record hasn't been altered since it was sealed. |
| Awaiting signatures | The record is intact, but not everyone has signed yet. |
| Tamper detected | A step no longer matches its fingerprint. The page names the first step that broke. Don't rely on this document. |
| Revoked | The sender withdrew it. It is no longer valid. |
| Declined | A required signer declined, so it was never completed. |
| Expired | The document is past its validity date. |
Below that, the page shows:
- Document: its title, who issued it (with a verified badge for a verified institution), when it was created, and how many signatures it has.
- Who signed, and how: each signer's name, role, time and method. For each signature, Signature verified means the signing service's check passed just now. Open it to see the issuer, the certificate serial and the fingerprint.
- Audit trail: every step, each with a fingerprint that includes the step before it.
- Seals: the document's content fingerprint, the latest step's fingerprint and the test certifying authority's key fingerprint.
What it never shows
The page does not show what the document says: no field values, no email addresses, no phone numbers and no free-text reasons. The contents stay between the sender and the signers.
How the checks work is explained in How the proof works.
