What is on it
Every part of the certificate has a job
Tap a number on the sample to see what it shows and why it is there.
-
Every certificate gets its own 8-character code, also encoded in the QR. Scan it or type it at certificate.legitique.com to open the original record. This is what makes the certificate checkable, not just a PDF.
-
Authentic, not authentic or inconclusive, stated in one word at the top so nobody has to interpret it. The "Sample certificate" label and watermark only appear on this demo.
-
Brand, model and variant, plus your order number. A certificate only covers the exact item described here, so a buyer can match it against the listing.
-
When the review was completed and who did it. Every verdict is signed by the human authenticator who reviewed the item, never generated by software.
-
The main photo plus the close-ups the verdict was based on: date code, heat stamp, canvas, stitching, hardware, lining. Anyone can see that the certificate belongs to this specific piece.
-
The reasons behind the verdict, point by point. On the sample: date code format, logo stamp, canvas and trim construction, and hardware details for the Neverfull MM.
-
Printed instructions so the person you share it with can check it without asking you. If the code, item or outcome online differs from the PDF, it is not an original Legitique certificate.
-
A certificate is an expert opinion based on the photos and information provided. Legitique is independent: it does not speak for any brand and is not a party to any sales dispute.

Questions
Certificate questions
Is the certificate included in the price?
Yes. Every authentication includes the human review, the written verdict and the PDF certificate. There is no extra fee for the certificate.
How quickly do I receive it?
In most cases within 24 hours of submitting clear photos, together with your verdict. If we need more photos first, we ask, and the clock restarts once they are in.
Who can verify my certificate?
Anyone with the code. They scan the QR or enter the code at certificate.legitique.com and see the original record. No account is needed.
Is it an official brand certificate?
No. Legitique is an independent authentication service. The certificate is an expert opinion from a human authenticator and does not represent the opinion of any brand named on it.
Will PayPal, my bank or a marketplace accept it?
Many clients attach our verdict and certificate as evidence in disputes and chargebacks. Each platform makes its own decision, so we can't promise an outcome, but you get clear, documented proof that supports your case.
Someone sent me a Legitique certificate. How do I know it's real?
Enter its code in the box above, or scan the QR, and compare the result with the PDF. The item, photos and outcome must match exactly and the page must be on certificate.legitique.com. If anything is off, email info@legitique.com.
I lost my certificate. Can I get it again?
Yes. Email info@legitique.com with your order number and we'll send it again.
