The Digital Ownership Certificate for Bicycles.
Frame number, full build specification, service history and ownership chain — linked in one permanent record that proves ownership, deters theft, and supports insurance claims.
Over 300,000 bicycles are stolen in the UK every year. A registered bicycle with a verifiable ownership record is a significantly less attractive target.

Why bicycles need this
Bicycle Theft Is Rampant. Proving Ownership Is Harder Than It Should Be.
High-value bicycles — road bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes — are stolen at scale. Recovering a stolen bicycle is difficult because most owners cannot prove ownership beyond a receipt that may have been lost. An Ownich Digital Ownership Certificate creates a permanent, verifiable record of frame number, build specification, and ownership history — making theft less attractive and recovery more likely.
What it covers
What a Bicycle Certificate Records
Frame number registration
The frame number is recorded at registration and cryptographically sealed. A stolen bicycle cannot be given a clean ownership record — the frame number conflict is immediately detectable.
Full build specification
Every component — groupset, wheels, saddle, handlebars — is documented. The complete build spec is permanently linked to the certificate and cannot be altered.
Service history
Every service — date, mechanic, work performed — is appended to the Ownership Passport. The complete service history travels with the bicycle through every ownership transfer.
Theft deterrence
A registered bicycle with a visible QR code is a less attractive target. A thief cannot sell a bicycle with a verifiable ownership record that points to someone else.
Insurance claims
Insurers can verify the bicycle's identity, specification, and value independently. Claims are faster and less likely to be disputed.
Resale confidence
Buyers can verify the bicycle's frame number, build spec, and ownership history before completing a purchase. No account needed. No fee.

How it works
Register. Document. Protect.
Register the frame
Enter make, model, frame number, and size. The frame number is cryptographically sealed — a stolen bicycle cannot be given a clean record.
Document the build
Record every component — groupset, wheels, saddle, handlebars. The complete build spec is permanently linked to the certificate.
Certificate issued
Your Digital Ownership Certificate is signed and the Ownership Passport is created. The provenance chain begins from this moment.
Transfer on resale
Initiate a transfer when you sell. The buyer accepts. The complete frame, build, and service record moves with the bicycle.
