Enrolment
FreeCapture → PID + physical signature + sealed record + owner key.
Who uses it: Anyone: stations, phones with SDK, third-party devices, the API.
Planned · phase A
Services
Enrol and resolve, free. Claim, with an operator.
The registry does not charge for identity. Services that claim something about it are provided by operators, who answer for their result. Today the operator is Know Your Parcel.
Resolution
FreeID → exists, date, class, level, status, lineage and last verified sighting. No personal data or images.
Who uses it: Anyone, by web, QR or API.
Planned · phase A
Format check
FreeValidates format and check, normalises and says whether it exists. Does not count as a resolution.
Who uses it: Label readers, forms, agents.
Planned · phase A
Lineage at enrolment
FreeOpening, consolidating, splitting or repacking creates child IDs linked to their parents.
Who uses it: Whoever holds the parents’ key.
Planned · phase A
Public export
FreeDaily dump of the public part in JSON Lines, with its own signed record. CC0.
Who uses it: Anyone, to verify or build on it.
Planned · phase C
Sighting
OperatorNew capture + claimed ID → “it is the same one”, with per-feature score and explanation, sealed as a record.
Who uses it: Forwarders, warehouses, carriers.
Planned · phase B
Passive liveness
OperatorAsserts that a capture is of a real parcel, made now, by an intact sensor and without injection. Also valid without identity: “this photo is real”.
Who uses it: Insurers, platforms, marketplaces.
Planned · phase B
1:1 comparison
OperatorTwo captures or two IDs → same parcel yes or no, score and differences (weight, damage, tape).
Who uses it: Shops (outbound vs return), forwarders, carriers.
Planned · phase B
1:N identification
OperatorAn unlabelled capture → candidates in the database: lost, stolen or orphan parcels.
Who uses it: Carriers, forwarders, lost property.
Planned · phase D
Lineage operation record
OperatorThe opening, consolidation or repacking operation, certified with evidence.
Who uses it: Forwarders and consolidation warehouses.
Planned · phase A
Custody
OperatorLong-term storage of the raw evidence (images, video, point cloud).
Who uses it: Whoever needs the proof years later.
The rule that does not change
Operator fees apply to sightings with comparison, liveness, 1:1 and 1:N comparison and custody. Never to enrolment or resolution.
Prices
This site publishes no prices: the registry sells nothing. Paid services are contracted by each client with an operator, which sets and publishes its terms.
Passive liveness
“There is a real parcel in front of an intact sensor, now.”
In KYC, liveness proves there is a real person in front of the camera. Here it proves the image was not injected or generated, without asking anything of the operator. The output is a sealed claim with a high, medium or low level and its reasons.
Device attestation
Signature of the capture on the sensor itself, monotonic sequence, controlled clock.
Scene physics
Shadows, highlights and depth consistent with a real object under known lighting.
Freshness
A registry nonce inside the frame, so an old capture is not accepted.
Multi-sensor coherence
The scale’s weight and the point cloud’s volume match what is seen.
Synthesis detector
Third-party, as a secondary signal. Never as a verdict.
Comparison
Never a verdict without an explanation.
Every comparison returns a score per feature and an overall one, with a threshold calibrated for the pair of capture classes, and explains the differences, including the new damage map. Thresholds come from real data: until then, the service is offered as “in calibration”.

“Same geometry and weight; the texture of patches A and B matches; the tape is the same; there is new damage on the front face.”
Free tier
Limits so the database does not fill with junk.
The free tier is there so the world can enrol and resolve. Sources with many orphan or inconsistent enrolments are downgraded.
