Credentials & documents,
permanently verifiable.
Arkova is the verification layer between your records and the people who need to trust them. Cryptographic proof for credentials, contracts, signed PDFs, and compliance evidence — without taking custody of a single file. Privacy-first: documents never leave your device.
For Students
Your credentials, your control
We remove the friction and recurring fees of accessing your own records. Build a verifiable portfolio of academic achievement that expands beyond the traditional classroom.
Unified Portfolio
Continuing education credits, professional certificates, transcripts, and letters of recommendation — all in a single profile you can share with one link.
Connect Any Issuer
Link your accounts on online learning platforms, professional licensing boards, and continuing education providers — and anchor those credentials into a single portfolio that goes beyond what any one institution tracks.
Proof That Outlives Software
Even if an issuing platform changes or an institution closes, your proof is permanently verifiable. Your credentials survive vendor churn.
Privacy By Design
Documents are fingerprinted in your browser. We never take custody of your files. Only you decide who sees your records.
For Institutions
Cut verification overhead, not corners
Turn static records into instantly verifiable links. Automate the verification pipeline and free staff from manual transcript processing so they can focus on student success.
Automated Verification Pipeline
Replace manual transcript processing with instantly verifiable links. Staff hours shift from paperwork to high-value student success initiatives.
Zero Storage Liability
Arkova never takes custody of underlying student records. We only anchor a cryptographic fingerprint of the file — complete data privacy and zero storage liability for the institution.
Drop-In Integrations
REST API, batch endpoints, and webhooks plug into existing SIS, LMS, and HR stacks. Automate both future issuance and retroactive recordkeeping — no rip-and-replace.
Privacy preserved. Documents are fingerprinted in the browser using the Web Crypto API. Only a cryptographic fingerprint is anchored — the original document and personal information never leave the student's device.
Compliance & Audit
Built for the changing compliance landscape
Auditors are demanding cryptographic proof. Regulators are tightening multi-jurisdiction obligations. AI-generated content is breaking traditional verification. The teams that survive are the ones whose evidence is verifiable end-to-end — not the ones with the biggest filing cabinet.
Per-Jurisdiction Posture Scoring
Track compliance posture across the regimes you operate under. See which controls you have, which gaps would fail an audit, and which deadlines are coming up.
Severity-Ranked Gaps
Missing, expired, expiring-soon, and insufficient evidence — ranked by penalty risk so the things that would fail go to the top of the list.
Audit-Ready Batch Exports
Generate evidence packages for your auditor — proof of anchoring, lifecycle events, and per-jurisdiction control mapping in a single bundle.
Auditor Mode
A read-only inspection workflow that lets auditors verify evidence without touching source documents. Privacy preserved end-to-end.
Save weeks of audit prep, not just hours. Evidence is anchored as it's created, not compiled at the eleventh hour. When the auditor asks for proof, the proof already exists — cryptographically dated, immutable, and verifiable by anyone with the link. The work shifts from compilation to review.
Infrastructure
Built on a verification layer that already runs at scale
Verification is only as trustworthy as the evidence layer beneath it. Ours has been running in production, anchoring credentials, contracts, and signed documents, while we build the platform above it.
Developer Platform & Integrations
The invisible middleware between your records and trust
REST API, batch endpoints, webhooks, embed widgets, and direct anchoring from DocuSign and other document sources — designed to plug into the stack you already run. We sit between your systems, not on top of them.
Verification API
Single-call verification for any anchored credential or document — returns status, issuer, timestamps, and cryptographic proof. Live today.
Batch Verification
Verify records in bulk for enrollment, background checks, and compliance runs — designed for high-volume institutional workflows.
DocuSign & Document Sources
Anchor signed envelopes from DocuSign and other document workflows. Each signature event becomes a dated, verifiable proof — without us seeing the document.
Embeddable Verification Widget
Drop a one-line script tag onto any page to let visitors verify a credential or document without leaving your site. Privacy-preserving, works without your backend.
Webhooks & Events
Subscribe to anchor lifecycle events (secured, revoked, expired) with HMAC-signed payloads and retry on failure. Credential-lifecycle events on the roadmap.
API Key Management
Create, rotate, and revoke API keys with granular scopes. HMAC-SHA256 secured. Full audit trail of every key action, plus usage analytics.
How It Works
Three steps to permanent verification
From credential issuance to instant verification — without the phone calls, transcript fees, or waiting periods.
Issue or Upload Credentials
Institutions issue credentials directly, or students upload existing records. Cryptographic fingerprints are generated locally — your documents never leave your device.
Anchor & Verify
Each credential is cryptographically anchored to an immutable public record. Anyone with a link can verify authenticity instantly — no phone calls, no middlemen.
Share & Control
Students share a unified portfolio via a single link. Proof outlives the software — even if an issuing platform changes or an institution closes, verification is permanent.
Who It's For
Built for everyone in the credentialing chain
From students building a portable portfolio to registrars automating verification at scale.
Students & Learners
Build a unified, instantly shareable portfolio of academic achievements, continuing education credits, professional certificates, and letters of recommendation — all in one place you control.
Registrars & Institutions
Turn static records into instantly verifiable links. Automate the verification pipeline, free staff from manual transcript processing, and reallocate hours toward student success initiatives.
Background Checks & Employers
Verify credentials programmatically. One API call, instant result — no phone tag with registrar offices or waiting weeks for transcript requests.
Continuing Education & Professional Licensing
Track CE credits, professional certificates, and licensing requirements in a verifiable portfolio that travels with the professional across employers and jurisdictions.
