Certitas gives individual collectors and independent resellers the same forensic authentication protocol used by auction houses. Submit an item, receive a signed digital certificate, and sell with documented provenance.
Authenticate an item ↗Every submission is inspected against stitch density, hardware tolerances, serial formats, and material spectra by two independent expert reviewers before a verdict is issued.
Each authenticated item receives a tamper-evident certificate with a unique reference, photographs of record, and a public verification link buyers can check instantly.
Ownership, service history, and prior certificates travel with the item across every resale, so the record compounds in value instead of resetting each transaction.
Photograph submissions clear within two business days. Time-sensitive listings can be escalated for same-day review without leaving your dashboard.
Handbags, wristwatches, fine jewelry, and limited-release footwear—each governed by a category-specific authentication standard and revision log.
Prospective buyers scan the certificate code to confirm the item, condition grade, and current holder before any funds change hands.
Field reports
“I list Hermès and vintage Cartier for private clients. A Certitas certificate cut my average time-to-sale in half—buyers stop haggling on trust and start negotiating on price.”
“As an independent watch dealer, a disputed authenticity claim used to mean a chargeback. Now every piece ships with a signed record. My return rate on grey-market Rolex dropped to nearly zero.”
“I resell limited sneakers full-time. The portable provenance file means a buyer who purchases from me can resell with the same certificate attached. That resale value keeps my listings ahead of the platform.”
