The passport

A record that stays with every piece

At handover, each piece gets a serial number, a QR code to engrave and a passport page. It is built from what you already recorded during the build, so there is nothing to write twice.

What is on the page

Six sections, in this order

  1. 01

    Made by

    Your workshop, the makers who worked on the piece, the city, and how to reach you.

  2. 02

    Made from

    Timber, sheet goods, finish and hardware. Each claim shows where it came from: your declaration, a supplier document or a certificate.

  3. 03

    How it was made

    A handful of moments you pick from the build log, dated.

  4. 04

    Caring for it

    The care card for the finish you used, with a printable copy. You can edit every line.

  5. 05

    Warranty

    How long, what it covers, and whether it passes to the next owner.

  6. 06

    Ownership

    “Owner #1 since March 2026”. Never a name, never an address.

No. 2026-017

For owners

Found a passport on your furniture?

I scanned a code on my furniture. What is this page?+

It is the passport the maker created when the piece was finished. It shows who made it, what it is made from, how to look after it and the warranty. It does not need an account.

Who can see my name?+

Nobody. Passports show owners only as a number and a date, for example “Owner #1 since March 2026”. Your contact details stay with the maker.

I bought the piece second-hand. Can I become the owner on record?+

Ownership transfer is planned after the beta. It will use the code printed on the ownership card handed over with the piece, so keep that card safe.

Something needs repairing. What do I do?+

Use the contact details in the “Made by” section to reach the maker, and give them the serial number from the passport.

Questions about passports

Is this an EU Digital Product Passport?+

No. It is a record you choose to give your clients. It is structured so it could map to official formats later, but it is not a compliance tool and we make no compliance claims.

What happens to the QR code if Zurgina disappears?+

Every passport can be exported as a self-contained web page with its photos and files. Host it on your own website and the record survives. Planned: passports on your own domain, so the printed address never has to change.

How big does the QR code need to be?+

In our tests a passport link written in capitals fits a code of about 20 mm (0.8 in) with modules of at least 0.5 mm; we suggest 25 mm (1 in) for engraving. Always test on an offcut of the same timber and finish.

Do I have to use NFC or blockchain?+

No. A QR code, a short web address and a serial number do the job and will outlast any tag. NFC may come later as an optional extra.

Practical guides: marks, serial numbers and QR codes and what the EU passport rules mean for small makers.
