    ICOC-CERT offers an historical analysis and research service for those who request it to fight the forgery of honors and to certify the family coat of arms and genealogy with the purpose of registering, thanks to blockchain technology, the certificate of membership to an Order of Chivalry recognized by ICOC (the updated register can be downloaded from the footer of the Website), the Coat of Arms (provided it is already certified by a State King of Arms) and the genealogy to each entitled person (the “Service”). To carry out the analysis and checks on the User who requests them, we have documents available within our offices or we can request them under license to external partners such as public archives and other sources. In particular, our request can be sent chancelleries of Chivalry Orders to verify your belonging to them and to the Heralds.

    With that in mind, the Platform offers the following features:

    1. Order of Chivalry - by signing up an account on our Website you can purchase and obtain a blockchain notarized certificate of your Chivalry status. ICOC will verify through the Order Chancellery your eligibility and will issue the certificate;

    2. Coat of Arms - by signing up an account on our Website you can purchase and obtain a blockchain notarized certificate of your Coat of Arms. After an in-depth verification, ICOC will issue the certificate;

    3. Genealogy - By signing up an account on our Website you can purchase and obtain a blockchain notarized certificate of your Genealogy. As the complexity of this service depends on the number of generations, this service is offered through a quote and may be subject to price changes.

    4. Verify certificate - The validity of the issued certifications can be verified at any time through a dedicated smartphone mobile app (the “App”), able to read the QR code and thus displaying the authenticated document, or thanks to a service on our Website at the following link https://www.icoc-cert.com/verify-title.

The User can also request the cancellation of the Certificate by informing us.

    3. To use the Service, Users will have to log in and request an order. After completing the registration, you can upload your User data, to access your personal area and request, your Certificate and allow ICOC to carry out all its verifications.
