For credential issuers

Issue credentials your members truly own.

Government agencies, boards, associations, and schools use FreeholdIP to issue licenses, certifications, and diplomas that the holder owns and anyone can verify for free — credentials that can't be faked and keep working even if your systems go down.

Every issuer is independently verified

That's the whole point. Because we verify each issuer ourselves, a FreeholdIP credential carries real trust — the public can tell a genuine board from an impostor. We don't open issuing to just anyone, and we never will. It's why "verified by FreeholdIP" means something.

Already an issuer?

Want to become an issuer?

We set up every issuer personally, so we can confirm you're the real organization you say you are. Here's how it works:

Apply with the form below — tell us about your organization and prove control of your official domain (a DNS record we check automatically).
We verify you through your official channels and the proof you upload — never just an email address.
You generate your digital signature key in your own browser (we never see it) and we put your identity on the public record; then you issue credentials your members own.

For your members

What an issued credential gives them

They own it.

The credential is theirs, held with their own key.

Free to verify.

No logins or fees for anyone checking it — and no gatekeeper who could ever start charging.

Unforgeable.

Sealed with your digital signature and permanently stamped on the public record.

Outlives everything.

A held copy still verifies even if your systems — or ours — go away.
