Certificate of authenticity for artists
Issue the certificate of authenticity of your own works yourself. Each one is registered with Avant.Dev with a public provenance page anyone can open from its QR, a PDF to print and a pass for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. When the work is sold or changes hands, the change is added to its ledger.
What you receive
- — Up to 10 certificates of authenticity, issued by you as the artist
- — A public provenance page for each, verifiable by its QR
- — A PDF and a pass for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet for each
- — The registry for one year: each later sale or transfer added to its ledger
How fast
Each certificate is registered as soon as you describe the work, from a private link that reaches your email after paying. Its PDF follows within minutes.

Questions
- Who issues the certificate?
- You do, as the artist. Avant.Dev registers it and keeps its ledger. Nobody at the gallery examines the work, so the certificate says that it was issued by the artist and was not authenticated by the gallery.
- What does a certificate record?
- What you write about the work: its title, year, medium and dimensions, and the details you add. Every later sale or transfer is added to the same ledger, so the history travels with the work.
- Do I need an account?
- No. After paying, a private link arrives by email; you describe each work there and each certificate is issued at once.
- What happens after the year?
- Before the year ends a link to renew reaches your email. The registry covers up to ten works a year.
- Can I see it before paying?
- Yes. The free preview draws your certificate in the browser with your title, year, medium and size. Nothing you type is stored or sent.
