The Confidence Panel appears on all certificates. It explains what type of badge the certificate has and its level of completeness.
Certificate status
Certificate status shows what type of badge the certificate has.
Certificates of Authenticity must have:
A verified issuer
An identified creator who has authorized the issuer
In situations where the artist is certifying their own work, the issuer and creator are the same.
Registered Records do not have an identified creator. A Registered Record can become a Registered Record+ if the issuer has been verified. This describes situations where a business is issuing certificates under a business name or where the artist or creator is deceased and cannot authorize the issuer.
Object details
Object details shows how complete the certificate is. There are 3 levels of completeness: Basic, Recommended and Extended. The table below reach the Recommended level a certificate needs to contain the following information:
Title
Image
Artist, creator or maker (if one exists, this is optional)
Object type, e.g., print, painting, video, NFT, etc.
Medium
Production year
Dimensions
Note that if you're creating your certificates on Verisart.com, you're required to include the recommended details so you're certificate will be at that level by default. If you're a Shopify merchant, you'll need to add object details using the edit form on the Products tab.
