FreeholdIP
Who owns your professional identity?

Your career shouldn't depend on
someone else's database.

Today it's scattered — your licensing board, your certifications, your diploma, an employer, LinkedIn — each in a database you don't control, any of them able to change the terms, lock you out, or disappear. FreeholdIP gives you one permanent professional identity you own, held with your own key, like the deed to your house. The boards and schools behind your credentials sign them straight to your identity, so anyone can verify them — no login, no fee, for life, and it holds up even if the issuer goes away. Claim yours today; each credential goes verified the moment its issuer joins.

Demonstration profiles: the signatures and the verification are real — the issuing boards and schools are mock-ups, labeled as such on every credential.

How it works

Three steps, one for life

01
Create your identity

Make a permanent name and key that are yours alone — just $5, in under a minute. No registrar, no yearly fee.

02
Your issuers make it verified

When a board, association, or school you hold a credential from is on FreeholdIP, they sign your license or certification straight to your identity. Not here yet? Invite them.

03
Anyone confirms it — free

Share a link or QR code. They confirm it's genuine and current in seconds — no account, no fee.

No issuer yet? No problem

Start today — even if your issuers aren't here yet

Your identity is yours now.

Your name, photo, contact details and links — held with your own key, permanent, and shareable like any professional profile. You don't need anyone's permission to start.

Verified credentials come next.

The moment a board, school, or association you hold a credential from joins FreeholdIP, they sign it to your identity — and it becomes a living, verified credential anyone can confirm.

List what you hold meanwhile.

Add your own credentials yourself. They're clearly marked self-listed — your word, not yet verified, and upgrade to the real, verified thing the day your issuer signs them.

Make your license live

Hold a credential from a board or association that isn't on FreeholdIP yet? Tell them. One message from you — a professional asking for verifiable credentials — does more than any pitch we could make. We'll even write it for you.

Why it's different

A living deed, not a database row

You own it.

Held with your own key — not rented from a company's database.

It outlives the issuer.

Its proof lives in the credential — a copy you hold still verifies even if they, or we, shut down.

Tampering shows.

Sealed with tamper-evident math and permanently stamped on the public record — alter one character and it stops verifying.

Free to confirm.

No fees, no logins, no phone calls to check it's real — and no gatekeeper who could ever start charging.

Why we built this

The web was meant to be owned by people — not rented from platforms. FreeholdIP is the first brick of an internet you own.
