About
Proof is an enterprise-grade identity security platform purpose-built for a world where AI-generated fraud, deepfakes, and forged documents are increasingly difficult to detect. As fraudsters become more sophisticated, Proof addresses the core challenge: how do you establish cryptographic trust in any digital interaction? At its heart, Proof operates an Identity Authorization Network — combining biometric identity verification, cryptographic document signing, and a team of over 1,800 live identity agents who monitor transactions in real time. This means every signed document, notarized record, or verified identity produces an immutable, verifiable proof that cannot be faked by AI. Key products include Notarize (online notarization accepted in all 50 US states, available 24/7), Sign (cryptographically secured digital signing), Identify and Verify (deepfake-resistant identity verification), Certify, Close, and Defend (a cross-platform fraud detection engine that monitors all authorizations for suspicious behavior). An enterprise Command Center provides company-wide oversight. Proof serves a wide range of industries — real estate, financial services, auto, credit unions, solar and energy, insurance, and retirement — covering use cases from power of attorney and FAFSA processing to account recovery and equipment financing. With AICPA SOC 2 certification, IAL2 (Kantara), MISMO, WCAG AA compliance, and WebTrust auditing, it meets the highest legal and security standards. Organizations integrate via API or web, making Proof suitable for developer-led implementations as well as no-code enterprise deployments.

- Cryptographic Document Signing: Every document is cryptographically signed with the signer's verified digital identity, making forgery detectable and records immutable.
- Deepfake Detection & Fraud Monitoring: Defend analyzes every authorization in real time using 100+ network signals to detect AI-generated fraud, deepfakes, and suspicious behavior.
- Identity Authorization Network: A network of millions of verified users and 1,800+ live identity agents enables instant, trusted identity verification across any participating business.
- Enterprise Command Center: A centralized dashboard gives organizations company-wide visibility and control over all identity verifications, signings, and notarizations.
Use Cases
- Notarizing real estate closing documents online without requiring in-person meetings, accepted in all 50 US states.
- Verifying borrower identities for financial services applications, credit lines, and equipment financing to prevent fraud.
- Securing power of attorney appointments with legally valid online notarization and cryptographic identity proof.
- Protecting businesses from candidate fraud and synthetic identity attacks during onboarding and account recovery workflows.
- Enabling insurance and retirement providers to collect legally binding authorizations with AI-resistant identity verification.
Pros
- Legally Recognized in All 50 States: Online notarizations are accepted across every US state, making it a reliable solution for nationwide legal and real estate workflows.
- AI-Resistant Cryptographic Trust: Cryptographic signing and deepfake detection provide security guarantees that traditional document workflows cannot match in the age of generative AI.
- 24/7 Availability with Live Agents: The combination of automation and over 1,800 live identity agents ensures high availability and human oversight for high-stakes transactions.
- Multi-Industry Compliance Certifications: AICPA SOC 2, IAL2, MISMO, WCAG AA, and WebTrust certifications make Proof suitable for heavily regulated industries.
Cons
- Enterprise-Oriented Pricing: Proof is primarily built for businesses and enterprises; pricing is sales-driven and may be prohibitive for individuals or small teams with occasional needs.
- Identity Onboarding Required: Users must go through an identity verification process before transacting, which may add friction compared to simpler e-signature tools.
- US-Centric Legal Coverage: While powerful domestically, international notarization and legal recognition vary by jurisdiction, potentially limiting global use cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is online notarization via Proof legally valid?
Yes. Proof's online notarizations are accepted in all 50 US states and are conducted by commissioned notary agents, meeting all legal requirements for remote online notarization (RON).
How does Proof protect against AI-generated fraud and deepfakes?
Proof uses its Defend system, which analyzes every transaction using 100+ network signals combined with biometric checks and liveness detection to identify deepfakes, forged documents, and impersonation attempts in real time.
What industries does Proof serve?
Proof serves real estate, financial services, auto lending, credit unions, solar and energy, insurance, and retirement sectors, handling use cases from property closings to power of attorney and account recovery.
How does cryptographic signing differ from a standard e-signature?
Unlike a standard e-signature that is just a visual mark, Proof's cryptographic signing ties the signature to the signer's verified legal identity using public-key cryptography, making tampering or forgery immediately detectable.
Can developers integrate Proof into their own applications?
Yes. Proof provides a developer API and documentation, allowing businesses to embed identity verification, notarization, and signing workflows directly into their own platforms and applications.
