About Certus

Physical craft meets digital verification

Certus manufactures high-security ID cards using polycarbonate substrates, laser engraving, and boutique visual security (custom holography, microtext, guilloché). Our verification stack is built on W3C Verifiable Credentials (VC 2.0) and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), with revocation via Status Lists; NFC uses NDEF on NTAG 424 DNA. A public verifier demo is being prepared.

Important: We do not issue government ID, driver licenses, or passports, and our products are not presented as REAL-ID or DMV credentials. See Trust & Legal.
