Before you share it

Before You Share It

The moment your work leaves your hands is the moment you need a dated, verifiable record.

Why Registration Matters

Register your work before sending it to a producer, publisher, label, client, or collaborator. APR gives you a timestamped record of your authorship — and tools to show it wherever your work is shared.

Your APR Dashboard Unlocks Verification Tools

Once you register your work, your APR dashboard provides everything you need to prove your authorship anywhere your work travels.

Dashboard tools include:

  • Your APR verification badge
  • A scannable QR code
  • A public verification link
  • A shareable registration page
  • A mini badge for documents and cover pages

Place your APR badge on manuscripts, screenplays, pitch decks, artwork, photography, music demos, websites, portfolios, client deliverables, and social media posts. Anyone who scans the QR code can independently verify your registration.

Independent Certificate Verification

Every APR registration includes a public verification page that confirms your certificate number, registration timestamp, work title, creator/claimant, file metadata, SHA‑256 content hash, and evidence integrity details.

This page is accessible through your QR badge, your verification link, and your certificate — giving you portable, independently verifiable proof of authorship.
