One of a kind
Every Carificate
has its own number.
Think of it as a heritage certificate for your car — on steel. Factory documents such as a British Motor Museum Heritage Certificate or a BMW birth certificate live in a folder. Carificate goes on the wall, with your photos, your story and its own serial number. It is a collector’s certificate, not an official document.
- A serial number of its own — no two pieces are alike.
- Built around one car: its photos, its details and your story.
- A hologram and a QR code on the back that leads to the Carificate registry.
Carificate vs paper and metal posters
More than
a car poster.
Custom car posters on paper and metal posters from a catalogue both look good on a wall. Only one of them is a certificate. Here’s how they compare.

Frequently asked questions.
What is Carificate?
Carificate is a personalised steel collector’s certificate for your car, and a virtual garage where you document the story of your cars and share your passion for driving. The physical certificate is a 450 × 320 mm (approx. 17.7 × 12.6 in) steel plate: a photo of your car of your choice on the front, and on the back its photos, technical details, your story and an individual CF number.
Is Carificate a metal poster? How is it different from metal car posters?
From the front, Carificate looks like a print on metal, but instead of a stock design from a catalogue it shows your car in your own photos. The back has what an ordinary metal sign never has: an interior photo, the full spec sheet, a story written by the owner, and a serial number of its own. It is a personalised keepsake of one specific car, not a printed decoration.
Is Carificate an official birth certificate or proof of ownership?
No. Carificate is a collector’s certificate, not an official document. Factory documents such as a British Motor Museum Heritage Certificate or a BMW birth certificate come from the manufacturer’s archives — Carificate doesn’t replace them, doesn’t prove ownership and doesn’t independently verify the car’s history. It preserves what the owner wants to keep — the photos, the details and the story — in a form made for the wall.
Can I hang Carificate in a garage? Is it waterproof?
Yes. Carificate is made of galvanised steel and is waterproof and weather-resistant, so it works just as well in a garage, workshop or shed as it does in a living room or office.
Which photos work best?
Sharp, full-resolution photos taken in soft light work best — the whole car in frame, with no random people or objects around it. Avoid screenshots and pictures saved from messaging apps, as they are usually heavily compressed.
How much does a Carificate cost?
The price depends on the options you choose. You will see it in the configurator before you place your order.
Is Carificate a good gift for a car lover or petrolhead?
Yes. It is a personalised gift for a car enthusiast: their car, their story and a serial number of its own. It works for a birthday, Christmas, an anniversary, the purchase of a dream car or the end of a restoration. Carificate arrives in a black box with the Carificate logo.
