The certificate enhances due diligence documentation as part of a trustful and transparent transaction, valuation or loan of an artwork.
The Certificate can be used as part of the documents that support an artwork's provenance history. The certificate is therefore utilised by Collection Managers, as part of a Sellers document preparation process or as a pre-purchase risk assessment tool by Buyers.
A Certificate is produced within 4 weeks (20 working days) inclusive of registered shipping if you are requesting an individual certificate. 2. If you are an 'Industry' Client submitting more than 10 artworks per year for certification normally the production time per certificate is within 3 weeks of an artwork submission (15 working days) inclusive of registered shipping.

7. HOW IS YOUR PAYMENT DATA TRANSFERRED? When you make a payment, we use Stripe
By processing payments through Stripe, LACP does not handle sensitive card data directly. Stripe is a certified PCI Service Provider Level 1, which is the highest level of PCI compliance, and it handles the majority of card data security tasks. These Stripe features keep cardholder data safe while helping businesses to remain PCI compliant:
I) Tokenisation: Stripe's tokenisation service replaces sensitive card details with unique identifiers (tokens), which can be stored safely and used for transactions without exposing card details. II) E2EE: Stripe encrypts all sensitive data from the point of capture until it is processed within its secure environment. This end-to-end encryption minimises the risk that data will be intercepted during transmission. III) Scalability: Stripe's infrastructure is built on a cloud platform designed to handle large volumes of transactions without compromising performance. Businesses can scale their operations without worrying about maintaining compliance and security standards. IV) Integration with modern and legacy systems: Stripe offers extensive application programming interface (API) support, which makes it easy to integrate with modern and legacy systems. This flexibility helps businesses to modernise their payment processing without requiring extensive overhauls to their existing systems. V) Continuous monitoring and updates: Stripe continuously monitors its systems for threats and updates its security measures on a regular basis to tackle emerging vulnerabilities. Security features include machine-learning algorithms that detect and prevent fraud. VI) Global compliance: Stripe operates globally and can help businesses deal with the complexities of data residency and regional compliance across borders. VII) Data governance: Stripe's infrastructure supports data integrity and consistency.
By relying on Stripe to manage most of the responsibility with regard to secure card storage, data encryption, compliance and scalability, businesses can spend more time on core operations. Learn more about Stripe's security standards.
