Questions
Answered plainly.
01What is the difference between an Object Record and a Verified Passport?
An Object Record documents the object permanently and publicly: identity, specifications, images, evidence files and their cryptographic hashes. A Verified Passport adds the validation step — certification-source checks where supported, duplicate and serial-number checks, evidence consistency — and then issues the record as a passport with a public verification page.
02Does an Object Record show as verified?
No. An Object Record is explicitly not verified and carries no passport issuance. It is a structured, permanent record of what was supplied. Upgrading to a Verified Passport is what adds validation and issuance.
03What does “verified” actually mean?
It means this record matches the registry: the identifiers agree with the sources we can check, and the record's integrity and chronology can be confirmed independently. It is never a statement that an object is authentic. Physical authenticity depends on the grader, the issuer and physical inspection.
04Does payment guarantee that a passport is issued?
No. Payment begins the process. Vestavero may decline unsupported submissions, misrepresented objects, prohibited items, unverifiable claims, disputed ownership, or incomplete evidence. If verification declines your submission, the verification portion of your payment is refunded automatically and your Object Record with all its evidence remains yours; if a submission cannot be accepted at all, the full amount is refunded.
05Do dealer credits roll over?
Monthly credits do not roll over. Unused Object Records and Verified Passport credits expire at the end of each billing month.
06Can I update a record later?
Yes. Records are corrected forward, never erased. Add evidence, replace images, or record a certification update as separate items. The Archival Passport includes two future updates.
07Can ownership be transferred?
Yes, against an issued passport. The record travels with the object rather than with the venue it was sold through.
08Is the record public?
The verification page is public and anyone can check it, free, forever. Private details supplied as evidence — personal information, purchase prices, addresses — are not published.
09Do I have to pay in cryptocurrency?
No. Vestavero is priced and paid in US dollars. There is no token and no cryptocurrency requirement of any kind.
10What about research, photography or museum-style writing?
Those are performed by people, not software, so they are quoted individually rather than sold as a standard add-on. They cover original research, museum writing, professional photography, archival scanning, estate documentation and disputed provenance.
