Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our authentication and valuation services
How do I know if an expert is legitimate?
All experts on AuthVault are thoroughly vetted. We verify credentials, check references, and monitor ongoing performance. Each profile displays verified credentials and customer ratings.
What is the difference between authentication and valuation?
Authentication confirms whether an item is genuine or counterfeit. Valuation determines the current market value of an item for insurance, resale, or estate purposes.
How long does the process take?
Turnaround times vary by expert and service level. Most standard services take 2-5 business days, while rush services can be completed in 24 hours or less.
Can I get items authenticated online?
Yes! Many experts offer photo-based authentication for suitable items. Some high-value or complex items may require physical inspection.

The expert will review your request and respond within 24-48 hours with a detailed quote, timeline, and any questions about your item.
