# Sending proof to someone outside

_How to send something certified so the other side can check it themselves._

**Responde a:** send a certified document to a client · let my lawyer verify the document · share the proof with a third party · send evidence to a court

Proof that can only be checked inside your own account is not much use: whoever needs to check it is always outside. So it is sent in a way they can verify without you.

1. **Send the document and its receipt** — Both together. The receipt is what allows verification without an account.
2. **Tell them where to check** — The public verification page. No sign-up required.
3. **Let them do it** — They upload the file and see whether it matches. If it depended on you showing them, it would not be worth the same.

**En corto**

- The recipient needs no account and no permission from you.
- Verification does not run through your relationship: they do it with the file.
- It works years later, as long as they keep the file.

## For a lawyer or a court

Send the document, the receipt and a one-line note saying where it is verified. That is what avoids the argument about whether the file is the right one, which usually eats more time than the substance.

> [!WARNING]
> Send the original file, not a printout or a photo of the screen. Reprinting a PDF changes it, and verification will then say it does not match — correctly.

**Can I send it by ordinary email?**

Yes. The proof is in the file, not in how it travels.

**What if they open it on a phone?**

Same: verification works in any browser.

**Do I find out they verified it?**

Verifications are logged.

## Ejemplos

**A client disputes the condition a machine was delivered in.**

- Sends the certified photos from the delivery day and the receipt
- Points them to the verification page

→ The client checks for themselves that the photos are from that day and the dispute ends.

**The proof is emailed with nothing else.**

- Sends the document and its verification reference

→ The other side verifies for themselves.

**The recipient does not know how to check it.**

- Explains the step in two lines

→ Verification happens without phone calls.

**Only the fingerprint is sent and the document is missing.**

- Decides what to send according to the case

→ The recipient gets what they need.

**The file is re-saved on forwarding and stops matching.**

- Sends the original without opening or re-saving it

→ Verification comes out correct.

**Evidence of sending is needed.**

- Records the send in the file

→ The delivery is proved too.
