What happens next

Insurers, auditors or anyone you choose can check the certificate at couthacts.com/verify. The public proof shows event types, times and signatures only, not amounts, addresses or names.

Common problems and fixes

It says “No custody events yet”.

Events are recorded as the job happens. They start when the booking is made.

What does the certificate prove?

It proves what CouthActs recorded and when, and that nothing was changed since. It isn't an inspection of the goods.
