Do your signed items come with a Certificates Of Authenticity?Updated 11 hours ago

Absolutely, every signed item from The Vault comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). But here’s the difference, our COAs are backed by multiple layers of security powered by Vault Verify™, our advanced NFC authentication system.

Each Certificate of Authenticity is uniquely linked to the product it accompanies. To validate your COA, simply confirm that the serial number matches the item and scan the product’s NFC-enabled authentication tag. This starts a live verification against our encrypted database.

If the item is authentic, a confirmation message will appear along with details such as the signing athlete, serial number, and when available, images from the signing session.

To protect you further, every certificate is officially issued by The Vault and includes multiple security features:

  • A tamper-proof hologram
  • Unique serial number
  • Holographic foil design
  • Embedded watermark
  • Registration of the product in our secure authentication database

Here’s the important bit:

Not all Certificates of Authenticity are created equal. In fact, almost anyone can produce a certificate. So what’s the best way to determine if a COA is truly authentic?

  • Is it linked with NFC authentication?
    At The Vault, every signed product is fitted with a secure embedded NFC microtag powered by Vault Verify™. When scanned with a smartphone it provides instant, tamper-proof verification. It’s the modern gold standard in memorabilia authentication.

  • Who issued the Certificate?
    Our Certificates of Authenticity are issued directly by The Vault Memorabilia Ltd, a fully registered UK limited company. Our business information and contact details are publicly available and easy to verify.

  • A closer look at the COA itself…
    Our certificates are professionally printed by certified security specialists and include advanced anti-counterfeit features such as holograms, watermarks and unique serial numbers.

We’re proud to be one of the only memorabilia companies combining physical certificates with advanced NFC verification through Vault Verify™. It’s not just a promise of authenticity, it’s proof you can trust.
