E-certificates 

Fast, simple and secure access to class & statutory certificates

E-certificates are a convenient way for ship owners and operators to evidence the validity of their ship’s classification and statutory certifications.

Using Bureau Veritas’ e-certificates platform reduces administrative time and costs, allowing ship managers to keep their certificates in a single, easily accessible online location. E-certificates provide the added benefit of improving digital efficiency and being more secure than paper certificates, eliminating the risk of misplaced documentation or late delivery. 

• E-certificates reduce administration time and costs by providing quick certificate delivery
• You can prevent document fraud, loss, and damage with our cloud storage and secure electronic signature system
• Verification of certificate authenticity and validity is easy with the Bureau Veritas online portal
• Secure cloud storage makes sharing documents simple and helps facilitate management of certificates

Online portal access

E-certificates are delivered by email, and ship owners can view, download, and share them directly. E-certificates are also available on the My Veristar app and the Veristar Info website 24/7. 

Fraud Prevention

E-certificates provide multi-stage security for the verification of authenticity and validity. Your secure web portal is accessible using a QR code, URL, or unique identification number, and our secure electronic signature system prevents fraud and document tampering.

Easily updated certification

E-certificates simplify the process of keeping your ship certification up-to-date. Whenever a surveyor periodically surveys your vessel, a new version of the relevant e-certificate is issued to reflect either the endorsement or renewal of the required certification.

Ensure flag administrations acceptance

Should you request an e-certificate, Bureau Veritas will verify whether the relevant flag administrations accept electronic statutory certificates. If this is the case, Bureau Veritas will begin issuing class and statutory e-certificate in digital format at your vessel’s next survey.
