Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity
The Certificate protects the print, preserves the story behind it, and elevates the artwork into collectible fine art, ensuring its authenticity and lasting value.
The Certified Print
Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity
In the world of fine art, value is not only found in the image, but in the integrity of its origin.
​
Who printed it? On what paper? With what intention? and, perhaps most importantly, how is it authenticated?
​
At Lux Photo Lab, every certified print is part of a lineage. A commitment to permanence, craftsmanship, and collector confidence.
Provenance, Value, and Archival Trust
Through our exclusive use of Hahnemühle Fine Art papers, we offer artists and photographers access to the Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
A globally recognized system that protects the value and origin of each printed work, through Hahnemühler's official My Art Registry website.
Each Hahnemühle Certified Fine Art Print Includes:
Authenticity Guaranteed
A numbered certificate, printed on Hahnemühle’s watermarked mould-made paper, guaranteeing authenticity.
Secure Verification
A matching pair of serialized holograms—one affixed to the certificate, the other securely placed on the back of the print.
Artist’s Signature & Edition
The artist’s or photographer’s signature, edition number, and artwork title, reinforcing provenance and exclusivity.
Certified & Ready for Registration
Lux Photo Lab verifies and issues the certificate, ready to be registered by the artist at Hahnemühle's My Art Registry.
To Print is to Preserve. To Certify is to Honor.
This is more than a formality. It’s a promise: that the image you hold was created with intention and reproduced with integrity. It is especially meaningful for collectors, galleries, and institutions who demand traceability and archival standards.
The Certificate of Authenticity transforms a print into a collectible. It affirms the labor behind the lens, the care of the printer, and the timelessness of the paper.
