The Challenge
Paper licences can't protect the public.
A qualification is a promise of competence. Paper and PDF copies are trivially forged.
Stale Licences
A printed licence reads as valid long after suspension, lapse, or deregistration.
Unlicensed Practice
Deregistered practitioners keep working — the public has no practical way to check.
Credential Fraud
Static documents are easy to alter, forge, or keep presenting after revocation.
Enforcement Burden
Suspensions travel by letter and gazette, leaving a window where a revoked licence still convinces.
How It Works
A live connection between issuer, holder, and verifier.
Static certificates can't reflect changes in membership status, fee payment, or CPD compliance. Once issued, they stop telling the truth.
1
Regulator sets rules
Your authority defines what licensure requires — fees, CPD, registration status, conduct.
2
PrivySeal issues
A live credential is issued to the registrant, sealed and linked to your register.
3
Registrant carries
Living proof of licensure travels with the registrant — on signatures, profiles, submissions.
4
Anyone verifies
The public, employers, and municipalities check current status in seconds, at the point of need.
Suspension, lapse, or deregistration revokes the credential automatically — and reinstatement on compliance is just as immediate.
The Difference
Not a copy.
A verifiable original.
A Static Badge
Issued once, then frozen in time
Reads as valid long after standing changes
Easy to copy, forge, or keep using after revocation
Verification requires contacting the register
A PrivySeal
Reflects live register status, updated continuously
Revoked the moment standing lapses — reinstated just as fast
Sealed to your register; nothing static to forge
Anyone verifies in seconds, at the point of need
Enforcement
Suspend with a click.
Reinstate instantly.

Why PrivySeal
Six outcomes for your regulator.
Public Protection
Anyone can confirm a practitioner’s standing before engaging — the register works at the point of risk.
Impostors Exposed
A person claiming licensure without a verifiable seal stands out. Fakes fail verification instantly.
Revenue & Fee Recovery
Fee-linked status updates automatically — non-payment surfaces as a visibly lapsed credential.
CPD Completion
Completion ties directly to credential validity, so non-compliance is visible before renewal.
Fraud Prevention
Nothing static to forge or reuse — a revoked credential simply stops reading as valid.
Regulatory Credibility
Every licence you issue carries a live, checkable standard — enforcement the public can see.

ECSA
Engineering Council of South Africa
Live registration credentials across four registration categories. CPD lapse triggers automatic revocation until standing is restored, and employers verify current registration before every engagement.
SACSSP
South African Council for the Social Service Professions
Social Workers, Youth and Child Care Workers, as well as Auxiliary and other social work designations. Registered persons carry real-time practice cards and Privyseals to evidence their licensing
Driving Adoption
The tipping point.
400,000+
monthly seal views for one regulator requiring seals on all municipal submissions
10% → 80–90%
adoption, once stakeholders start asking
1
Show members the value
Early adopters carry a live, verifiable credential their peers don't have — in signatures, on profiles, on submissions. Visibility does the recruiting.
2
Engage the stakeholders
When employers, clients, and regulators start asking for the seal, carrying one stops being optional. That's the tipping point — and it arrives fast.
Implementation
Getting started is straightforward.
1
Connect Your Data
We connect to your register or licensing system as the source of record.
2
Define Eligibility Rules
You define what licensure requires — fees, CPD, registration status, conduct.
3
Brand Your Credentials
Credentials carry your authority’s identity, marks, and required fields.
4
Deploy to Registrants
Registrants receive live credentials, verifiable by the public from day one.
