Welcome to AFTAL Authentication Ltd

We understand that ensuring the authenticity of your items is crucial, whether you are a collector, a dealer, or a first-time customer. Our authentication process is designed to be simple, reassuring, and thorough. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Submit Your Item for Authentication To begin, use our 'Send Us Your Item' option. This will initiate the full authentication process, allowing us to take care of everything for you. Simply fill in the online form with the requested details, print it off, and send it along with your package directly to Aftal Authentication.

Step 2: Examination of Your Item Once we receive your item, our experienced team will carefully examine it for authenticity. If your item is deemed authentic, it will receive a uniquely numbered official Aftal Authentication Hologram placed prominently on the front. This hologram serves as your seal of authenticity. Furthermore, your item will be photographed and uploaded to our Authentication database, where you can check its status at any time using the unique hologram code on our official website:

Step 3: Receiving Your Verdict After our thorough evaluation, you will receive one of three verdicts:

Passed: Your item has passed our authentication process, and we believe it is authentic.
Failed: Unfortunately, we could not confirm the authenticity of your item. Please note that the fee paid is non-refundable as we have conducted a full inspection.
Inconclusive: Our team could not definitively determine the authenticity of your item. In this case, you will receive a refund of your fee, excluding all postage costs.

Quick Opinion Service

If you're looking for a online opinion only, consider our Quick Opinion Service. For just £10, you can receive one of the following verdicts based on the digital scan you provide:

Likely to Pass: Your item is likely to pass the full authentication process, pending a thorough physical inspection.
Unlikely to Pass: Based on the scan, our team does not believe your item will pass authentication.
Inconclusive: We were unable to provide a clear opinion, potentially due to poor image quality or because the item falls outside our coverage. Your £10 fee will be refunded.

We are committed to providing you with a professional and trustworthy service. If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to helping you authenticate your valuable items!
