Verify a document certificate
Every document we process gets a certificate recording what veraPDF measured against PDF/UA-1 (ISO 14289-1), on a named date, for one exact file. You don't need an account — and you don't need to take our word for it.
The file is fingerprinted in your browser and never uploaded — only the SHA-256 digest is sent. That also proves the file you're holding is the one we verified, rather than an edited copy.
What a certificate says, and what it doesn't. It records the result of an automated conformance test against a published ISO standard, for one file identified by its SHA-256 fingerprint, on a stated date. It is not a legal opinion and not a warranty of fitness for any purpose.
Certificates are issued for documents that fail as readily as ones that pass — a record showing exactly which clauses did not pass is more use to an agency than one that only ever says yes. When a document is processed again, its old certificate is superseded and will say so, pointing to its replacement, rather than quietly going out of date.
