How it works, for you
1
You request the exhibits from your client
From your workspace, you send a request for exhibits to your client's email address. Your client finds it in their online account and attaches the proofs taken with the app.
2
Your client captures with their phone
Each photo, video or document is timestamped and sealed automatically, without Scealia accessing the content.
3
You receive stronger exhibits, ready for litigation
Numbered exhibits, a Word exhibit list and a note on the evidence; a link lets the opposing party verify each exhibit.
Why your exhibits withstand adversarial scrutiny
Evidentiary value that holds up in litigation
Each exhibit carries its SHA-256 fingerprint, its timestamp and, for Constat Scealia, a qualified electronic seal within the meaning of the eIDAS Regulation (presumptions under Articles 35 and 41; Articles 1366 and 1367 of the French Civil Code). The technical and legal explanatory note attached when sharing explains how it all works.
Airtight against the opposing party
The opposing party verifies the exhibit on its own, on the public Polygon blockchain and with any independent signature validator. Neither the date nor the integrity can be seriously disputed.
Compatible with professional secrecy
Scealia never accesses the content of files in the clear. Sovereign hosting in France. Content is only transmitted at your initiative or your client's.
No travel, in just a few minutes
Your clients document the facts wherever they are, immediately. Ideal for the high volume of everyday evidence, where calling on a commissaire de justice (French judicial officer) would be disproportionate in cost or time.
When to use Scealia?
Rather than a simple photo or video
An ordinary capture offers no foolproof date or integrity: editable metadata, editing or generation by AI, cropping, re-recording… Its authenticity can be challenged. Scealia seals its fingerprint on a public ledger; the date and integrity of the content then benefit from a presumption of validity throughout the European Union.
Alongside a commissaire de justice's report
Scealia does not replace the commissaire de justice where a public and ministerial officer is required. At low cost, in a few clicks and with no third party or travel needed, Scealia covers the high volume of everyday evidence that a traditional commissaire de justice report cannot handle at scale.

What the law firm workspace does
In the Scealia web app, at scealia.com/app.
A workspace reserved for lawyers
A separate workspace for your cases, your clients and their exhibits, distinct from the one for individuals.
Stronger exhibits, ready for litigation
Numbered, renamed and annotated exhibits; Word exhibit list; note on the evidence; export of the case file as a single ZIP file.
Exhibits requested from your client
You send a request for exhibits to your client's email address; from their online account, your client attaches the proofs taken with the app.
Timeline, map and verification by the opposing party
Exhibits can be read in the order of events and on a map; a link lets the opposing party verify each exhibit.
This page presents a tool for building and transmitting digital proof; it is neither legal advice nor an offer of legal services. Scealia is not a law firm. The Scealia certificate is not a report drawn up by a commissaire de justice, and using Scealia does not guarantee any outcome in court: the evidentiary value of exhibits is assessed by the judge, at their sole discretion. The lawyer alone remains in charge of the evidence strategy and of the advice given to their client, in accordance with the essential principles of the profession.
