Create and verify a File Record

Open the beta site and sign in with Google if you want to create records or manage your private dashboard.

Public verification can still be used without signing in.

Successful public registry write actions consume recording units. Verification is free.

If the dashboard shows that you need more units, use Add units to open the capacity page.

Choose one package, then continue to the beta/test checkout flow if the environment requires it.

Do not use this documentation as production payment guidance. It describes the beta/test walkthrough only.

This beta uses Stripe's test/mock payment environment. No real payment is made in this test flow.

For the Stripe test card, enter 4242 4242 4242 4242. Use any future expiration date, for example 12/34. Use any CVC, for example 123. Use any name or email if the form requires it.

This is a beta/test checkout instruction only. It is not a production payment method and does not imply users can avoid payment in production.

Go to Create record and select File Record. This is the recommended first beta path for a simple test.

A File Record creates a public record for one exact file hash while keeping the file private unless you choose to share it.

Choose the exact test file in your browser. The browser calculates the file hash locally.

The normal browser recording flow sends the resulting hash for recording; the file itself is not uploaded in this flow.

Use the Review before recording section to confirm what will be recorded publicly and what remains private dashboard data.

Read the permanent-record confirmation carefully. A public registry entry cannot be silently changed or removed after recording.

Check the confirmation box and select Confirm record. If your account does not have enough units, the page will tell you how many units are required and link you to Add units.

Do not close the page while the recording action is processing.

After the write succeeds, the result page shows that the public record was created or found as an existing matching record.

The result may include a verification page link or verification information that can be used later.

Keep the verification link or exact hash if you want to verify the file again later or share the check with someone else.

Sharing a verification link does not share the private file unless you separately provide the file.

Open Verify and choose the same file or paste the exact verification code/hash.

Electronic Registry checks whether an exact matching public record exists and may show related public history when available.

If the result says an exact file record was found, the checked file/hash matches a public record in Electronic Registry.

Technical details can help reviewers inspect the recorded hash, timestamps, and related public context.
