The problem we solve
Engineering documents are being quietly modified

Over 25 years working with engineers and tens of thousands of engineering documents, Verified.Tools founder Ashley Gale saw the same pattern repeat: documents with valid digital signatures were being edited after signing. Customers were modifying engineering certificates, structural assessments, and compliance documents before submitting them for approval — and no one could tell.

A digital signature tells you a document was signed. Verified.Tools tells you it has not changed since. Any recipient can verify authenticity in seconds — no account, no software, no trust required.

How it works
Certified in four steps
1

Verify your company

Add a DNS TXT record to prove you own your domain (Level 1), then optionally add your ABN, NZBN, or other business ID (Level 2).

2

Upload your document

Upload any file. We compute a SHA-256 hash and bind it cryptographically to your verified identity.

3

Share the link

Every certified document gets a permanent public URL. Send it with the document — to clients, councils, certifiers, anyone.

4

Anyone can verify

Recipients open the link, upload the file they received, and instantly see whether it matches the original. No account. No software.

Features
Everything you need for document trust
From tamper-evident seals to team management, API access, and MCP integration — one platform for the full certified document lifecycle.

Cryptographic document sealing

SHA-256 hash bound to your verified company identity via HMAC. If a single byte changes, the verification URL immediately shows a mismatch.

Permanent verification URLs

Every document gets a tamper-evident public URL that never expires. Share alongside your document — councils, clients, and certifiers can verify in seconds without an account.

Digital signing & envelopes

Create signature envelopes, send to multiple signers in sequence or in parallel, and track every event. Full audit trail on every signature action.

Level 1 & 2 company verification

Level 1: DNS TXT record proves domain ownership. Level 2: ABN, NZBN, or equivalent cross-checked against government registries for the highest trust badge.

Webhooks & real-time events

Subscribe to document.certified, document.revoked, signer.completed, and more. HMAC-signed payloads. Automatic retries with exponential backoff.

Immutable audit log

Every upload, share, sign, and revoke is appended to a tamper-evident audit log. Exportable at any time to support legal, regulatory, or insurance requests.

Team management

Invite team members as Admin or Certifier. Manage API keys, sessions, and MFA per user. Role-based permissions on every action.

Bulk sending

Send a certified document to hundreds of recipients at once. Each gets a personalised verification link and email notification.

MCP server (AI integration)

Connect any MCP-capable AI assistant to Verified.Tools. Upload, verify, list, revoke, and audit documents directly from Claude, GPT-4, or your own agent.

REST API + comprehensive docs

Full REST API with API key auth, rate limiting, sandbox mode, and detailed documentation covering every endpoint, error code, and webhook event.

Trust levels
Level 1 — Domain verified

Prove you control the domain in your email. Add a DNS TXT record — setup takes about 5 minutes. Every document you certify at Level 1 or above shows the domain-verified badge to anyone who checks the link.

Level 2 — Business identity verified

Add your ABN, NZBN, ACN, or equivalent business registration number and pass an automated registry check. Unlocks the strongest trust badge — essential for engineering, legal, and financial professional certification.

Solutions by industry
Built first for engineering. Ready for every certified profession.
If your profession produces documents that carry legal, financial, or safety weight — and that others rely on — Verified.Tools protects them.
Primary market

 Engineering & architecture

Structural assessments, engineering certificates, compliance sign-offs, stamped drawings — these documents carry engineering liability and are routinely submitted to councils, builders, and certifiers. When a client modifies a document after it leaves an engineer's hands, the engineer may not know until something goes wrong. Verified.Tools makes every certified document self-evidently authentic.

Structural engineering Civil & geotechnical Mechanical & electrical Architecture & drafting Building surveying

Legal services

Contracts, affidavits, deeds, statutory declarations. Verified.Tools gives law firms an auditable proof that the document a counterparty received is unaltered.

Contracts · Deeds · Affidavits

Real estate

Building reports, pest inspections, section 32s, disclosure statements. Verify the report a buyer received is the one the inspector signed.

Building reports · Inspection certs

Government & compliance

DA submissions, council reports, compliance certificates, planning documents. Provide certifiers and councils with an instantly verifiable record of the document as submitted.

DA applications · Compliance certs

Financial services

Financial statements, audit reports, loan valuations, insurance assessments. Provide counterparties with cryptographic proof that the document matches the original.

Valuations · Audit reports · Lending

Mining & resources

Safety cases, equipment certifications, site hazard assessments. Safety-critical documents where tampering could have catastrophic consequences.

Safety cases · Equipment certs

Healthcare & medical

TGA conformity documents, medical device certifications, clinical reports. Regulatory compliance relies on the integrity of submitted documentation.

TGA docs · Conformity certs
Also worth exploring: Environmental consulting (impact assessments, sustainability reports), manufacturing (quality conformity, ISO certificates), education (academic credentials, professional CPD certificates), and insurance (appraisals, loss assessments). The common thread: a qualified professional certifies something, and others rely on it being authentic.

About
Built by someone who lived the problem

Verified.Tools was founded by Ashley Gale after more than 25 years working with engineers and technology across tens of thousands of engineering documents. In that time, Ashley saw the same problem repeat: documents bearing valid digital signatures were being quietly edited after they left the certifying engineer's hands.

Clients would alter structural assessments, compliance certificates, and engineering sign-offs before submitting them to councils, builders, and other parties. By the time the problem surfaced, there was no reliable way to prove what the original document said — only that it had been signed.

"A digital signature proves a document was signed. It does not prove it hasn't been changed since. We built Verified.Tools to close that gap."

— Ashley Gale, Founder

Verified.Tools is based in Australia, built by Australians, and purpose-designed for the legal, regulatory, and professional certification landscape of Australia and New Zealand — with broader international expansion to follow.
