Q: Initial Verification
For the initial verification, if I use my personal ID, is this the one that will show in the final uploaded file verification?
Use case - our organisation runs coaching programs. We issue multi-page PDF certifications. We want to upload these to blockchain via Certyfile so that it can be verified as authentic and issued by our organisation.
How do I go about this?
Also, if for any reason Certyfile ceases to exist, what happens to the docs already uploaded?
Thanks and all the best!

Jan 12, 2025A: Dear customer,
Thank you for reaching out and for your interest in using Certyfile for your organization’s certification process! I’m happy to address your questions in detail:
1. Does the initial ID used for verification appear in the final uploaded file on the blockchain?
No, the personal ID used for your account's initial verification is not linked to or displayed on the uploaded files or blockchain records. The verification process is simply to authenticate your account and provide an added layer of security. The blockchain record will reflect the authenticity and integrity of the uploaded documents, ensuring they are verifiable as issued by your organization.
In your case, Certyfile is ideal for uploading and certifying your multi-page PDF certifications for coaching programs. The process ensures that recipients and third parties can easily verify the authenticity of the certificates through the blockchain without exposing personal or private details about the uploader.
2. What happens to documents if Certyfile ceases to exist?
All documents registered via Certyfile are permanently recorded on public blockchains. This means the integrity and authenticity of these records are independent of Certyfile’s platform. Even in the unlikely event that Certyfile ceases operations, the blockchain remains operational and accessible for verifying your documents. You and your certificate holders can continue using blockchain explorers or compatible third-party tools to verify the records.
