Some cars
become part of your story.
You remember the first drive. Where it was parked when you first saw it. And that moment after parking, when you turned around for one more look.
We believe in the kind of motoring you want to linger over. In things you care for, repair and keep. That’s why we created Carificate.
Your first car
The one where it all began. First keys, first drive, first taste of freedom.
A dream come true
The car you waited years for — and that finally sits in your garage.
Your own build
Restoration, modifications, season after season. You know how much work went into this car.
One of a kind
A rare trim, a unique spec, or a car with a history no one else has.
Driven by passion
For those to whom a car means more than a way to get around.
A true collection
Several cars, each with its own story. Each one deserves its place on the wall.

One of a kind
Every Carificate
has its own number.
Think of it as a birth certificate for your car — on steel. Factory documents such as a BMW birth certificate or a Marti Report 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 catalog 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 personalized 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 catalog 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 personalized 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 BMW birth certificate or a Marti Report 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 galvanized 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?
Yes. It is a personalized 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.
