How Blockchain Verification Works With a Property Passport (High Level)
Eligibility and admin approval precede any controlled issuance. The passport record stays canonical off chain. Chains such as Sepolia may be used for proof, with Arbitrum One as a production direction subject to rollout.

This guide describes the intent of the workflow, not a promise that every button is live in every environment.
At a high level, Property Passport Blockchain Verification is meant to work like a controlled product pathway:
1. You have a recognised Property Passport record in Property Passport UK’s canonical database.
2. Eligibility checks apply.
3. Admin approval is required before any controlled issuance.
4. Users should not assume they can mint permissionlessly from a consumer wallet as if this were an open NFT drop.
What “issuance” means here
Issuance means creating the on-chain identity reference under the product’s rules, linked back to the passport row. It does not mean the chain suddenly holds every document in your vault.
Chains
Ethereum Sepolia can be used as a proof environment. Arbitrum One may be targeted as an intended production rail, subject to operational decisions. Wording should stay careful until production is explicitly confirmed for your timeframe.
