Step 3 - Secure Digital Certificate created and vaulted
- A Public validation query can be performed by scanning the unique digital certificate (per number plate) by using a standard mobile device
- Number plates can never be duplicated; only one record can be fitted per blank, even if the blank is accidentally duplicated.
- The authorised embosser is the only entity that can fit the blanks under their controlled stock-holding received from the number plate manufacturer.
- The number plate manufacturer/printer and the embosser are approved with very strict requirements and are certified under the National Department of Transport and eNaTIS in South Africa.
- A full audit trail is created and archived for every digital certificate linked to the number plate (from Manufactured blanks to completed embossed registration plate). This allows for a comprehensive and indisputable "chain of evidence" for investigators and Law Enforcement agencies worldwide.
