Authentication Service FAQs

Can you authenticate my item? If yes, where do I start?

The short answer is: we most probably can.

On the off-chance that you place an order for an item we can't authenticate, we'll refund the purchase.

Besides, if we're not sure about an authentication's verdict, we would rather refund the purchase.

Our expertise is earned through the millions of words for the thousands of items we've covered in our Legit Check By Ch Library, where we keep publishing, updating, curating and tweaking the world's most exhaustive Library of fake vs real authentication guides.

To find out for sure whether we can authenticate an item or not:

1. Simply click the green button below
2. Find your item
3. You'll either find your item in our list, or, if you can't find it, you'll be able to select just the brand and the item type.
Let's go

What do I need to place an order?
Is it complicated?

Not much... just your device, information and... that's pretty much it! Even pics of your item are optional: you can upload them later at any given point.

How does the Authentication Service work? What happens once I order?

We've explained everything on this page, but the short of it is:

1. Send us pictures and a few details
2. An authenticator is assigned to your order
3. We come back with a verdict ASAP
4. If we can, we'll help you get your money back.

What's your accuracy %? Why do you claim to be the most trusted service?

It's pretty simple: we wouldn't have offered the service if we weren't bulletproof from this point of view. Why? The reason why we started offering the service is simply because anyone can claim expertise.

Anyone can open up a stall tomorrow and claim "I know how to authenticate".

But the stakes are too high, we believe, for anyone to risk going to somebody who can't prove his expertise. You wouldn't go to the cheapest and fastest surgeon on the market, would you? Not when your (or somebody you love's) life is at stake.

So our expertise is earned through the millions of words for the thousands of items we've covered in our Legit Check By Ch Library, where we keep publishing, updating, curating and tweaking the world's most exhaustive Library of fake vs real authentication guides.

By choosing us, you're making the industry a safer place, as millions of people from all countries around the world rely upon our guides. We're pouring back the money you pay us into making the Library even stronger.

How does a Certificate look like? What will I receive?

Once you order is ready, you will receive your Certificate of Authenticity through a link. Here is a visual example of one of our Certificates of Authenticity. Curious to know why we issue our Certificates only in digital form? Have a look over at our anti-forgery page.

How fast will I receive my Certificate of Authenticity?

The set timeframe for an answer on our service is 48h. However, most of the time our answer will be with you faster than that. Sometimes we may take up to 48h simply because every authentication is a serious matter to us.

How do I get my money back from a transaction in which I was scammed with fakes? What happens after I get the Certificate?

In order to receive a refund for a PayPal/credit card transaction in which you were scammed with fakes, replicas or counterfeit items, you will need to get in touch with a PayPal/bank representative. We wrote a guide at length here where explained as simply as possible (with step-by-step visual examples) what you need to. We have a 99.99% success rate of getting back your money.

What if the Certificate doesn't work and I don't get my money back? What's that guarantee you mention about the Certificate of Authenticity?

We want to be as fair as possible, so if your PayPal/bank dispute is rejected on the basis of the Certificate of Authenticity, we will refund 100% of the amount you paid us. This way, there is no risk involved for you. We will require proof that you've actually tried (which we believe is a fair requirement), but we're reasonable people.

What payment methods have you got? What currencies?

We accept all credit/debit cards: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discovery etc. We can't accept PayPal, crypto, bank transfers or any other form of payment.
