Legal documents your clients, courts, and counterparties can trust.

Engagement letters, affidavits, powers of attorney, case packs, and settlements carry real consequence — and a forged or altered copy can undo a matter. VerifyDoc.ai lets law firms and notaries issue, manage, and verify them as tamper-evident records anyone can confirm in seconds.

01 The challenge

In law, a doubtful document is a liability.

Legal documents drive binding decisions — and a forged engagement letter, altered affidavit, or revoked power of attorney still being relied on can unravel a matter, expose the firm, and damage client trust. Confirming a document is genuine still depends on slow, manual back-and-forth.

🖊️

Forgery & alteration

Letters, opinions, affidavits, and deeds are edited, cloned, or fabricated — and a convincing copy can pass through a whole matter before anyone notices.

⏱️

Slow, manual confirmation

Courts, banks, and counterparties confirm authenticity by phone, email, or letter — adding delay and cost to every filing, completion, and transaction.

🔁

Superseded documents in use

A revoked power of attorney or a superseded agreement can still be presented as current, with no reliable way for a reviewer to know it's no longer in force.

02 One platform, three jobs

Not just verification — the full document lifecycle.

Legal documents get amended, superseded, and revoked. VerifyDoc.ai is where the firm issues them, keeps their status current and their integrity provable, and lets every reviewer confirm them.

I
Issue

Issue on the firm's letterhead, verifiable from day one

Generate engagement letters, opinions, affidavits, powers of attorney, and settlement documents through your normal workflow with the firm's branding and an embedded QR code and reference baked in at issuance.

  • Branded with the firm's letterhead
  • Single matter or bulk issuance
  • Auto-embedded QR & reference code
  • Digital or printed deeds
II
Manage

Revoke, supersede & prove integrity

Revoke a power of attorney or supersede an agreement instantly, so a bank or registry sees it's no longer in force. Set validity windows, reissue amended documents cleanly, and maintain a tamper-evident audit trail that supports chain of custody for case packs and evidence.

  • Revoke or supersede instantly
  • Set validity / expiry windows
  • Chain-of-custody audit trail
  • Reissue amended documents
III
Verify

Courts, banks & counterparties — instant confidence

A scan opens a hosted Certificate of Authenticity confirming the document is genuine, unaltered, and current against the firm's record. Every reviewer verifies in seconds, free, with no account.

  • Hosted Certificate of Authenticity
  • No account or fee to verify
  • Works on printed & digital documents
  • Live status: Active, Expired, Revoked

⚖️

Authenticity, not legal advice

VerifyDoc.ai proves a document is the genuine, unaltered record the firm issued. It does not give legal advice, determine enforceability, or replace notarisation or registration where the law requires them — it makes the firm’s record impossible to fake.

10 Questions

Answers for legal teams.

Does VerifyDoc.ai provide legal advice or confirm enforceability?
No. It confirms a legal document is the genuine, unaltered record the firm or notary issued. It does not give legal advice, determine enforceability, or replace notarisation, witnessing, or registration where the law requires them. It removes forgery and alteration; legal effect remains a matter for the parties, courts, and applicable law.
Can a power of attorney or agreement be revoked after issuing?
Yes. A revoked or superseded document can be marked Revoked instantly, and the public verification page updates at once — so a bank, registry, or counterparty can see it is no longer in force.
Does verification work for printed legal documents?
Both printed and digital. The QR and reference on a physical document link to the same live record, so a court or counterparty can scan paper and confirm it matches the firm's record.
Do courts, counterparties, or clients need an account to verify?
No. Verification is free and open to anyone, with no login and no fee.
How does it support evidence integrity and chain of custody?
Each document is hashed and locked to its issued state, with a tamper-evident audit trail of issuance and every verification event — so any later alteration is detectable and the integrity of case packs and evidence summaries can be demonstrated.
Is client and matter data kept confidential?
Yes. Verification pages display only the fields the firm chooses to expose, and the platform aligns with the UK and EU GDPR, with encryption, role-based access, and a data-processing addendum available for firms.
