See how it works

From plain document to verifiable proof

Take a look at a real document before and after Checksum proofs it, then see what a financial institution, lender, or HR team sees when they verify it.

1. Start with the original document

Here's an unmodified employment verification letter, exactly as created by the employer.

2. Checksum stamps a proof

The employer proofs the document through Checksum. A cryptographic fingerprint is generated and a verification stamp is embedded directly on the page — the document itself now carries its own proof of authenticity. Employer provides the proofed letter to the employee

3. Anyone can verify it instantly

When a third party receives the proofed document, they can upload it on the verify page. Checksum recomputes the fingerprint and confirms it matches what was signed — no phone calls, no manual review.

Document verified

The document is authentic and unchanged.

What if someone edits the document after it's proofed?

See what happens when a field — like a salary figure — is changed after the document was proofed, and what a lender or HR team sees when they try to verify it.
