Identity
A persistent CraftID reference for a professional or workshop. The identifier does not encode country, profession, year or legal status.
Professional identity infrastructure
Professional identity, built on evidence.
CraftID is a European-oriented professional identity, skills and evidence infrastructure for craftspeople, workshops and craft-based micro-enterprises.

CraftID
A durable professional record.
CraftID gives people and workshops a persistent professional reference that can connect skills, experience, qualifications, affiliations and supporting evidence in one structured record.
Skills & practice
Describe the skills used in professional practice and connect them with experience, qualifications, portfolio items and affiliations.
Evidence
Link individual professional claims to supporting material. Evidence is private by default and is not automatically made public.
Trust
Public records distinguish clearly between self-declared information, submitted evidence and claims that have undergone review.
For craft professionals
One identity. Practical value over time.
CraftID is designed to be more than a profile. It gives a craft professional a permanent reference that can be used across products, professional communication, applications and changing places of work.
Permanent CraftID
One professional identifier that can be used on products, packaging, business cards, websites, CVs, catalogues and applications. The CraftID remains tied to the same professional or workshop over time.
Public professional profile
A buyer, fair organiser, partner or institution can follow the CraftID or QR code to see who the maker is and what professional practice they present publicly.
Evidence-backed skills history
Skills, experience, training, qualifications and other claims can gradually be connected to supporting evidence and attestations, while keeping evidence private unless disclosure is explicitly intended.
CraftID Record Certificate
Issue and download a versioned certificate of the CraftID record with its own Certificate No. and QR verification. It records the published CraftID snapshot; it does not certify identity or professional competence.
Product traceability
When a CraftID is placed on a product or document, the identifier can remain resolvable over time so the registered maker or workshop can still be identified even if the active account is later closed.
Privacy control
The CraftID owner decides what is public: country, region or city, profile details, contacts and photo. Workshop owners may also explicitly choose whether to publish an exact business address.
Professional ↔ Workshop link
A Professional CraftID can be linked to a Workshop CraftID without merging the two identities, so a person keeps their own professional record when a workshop, employer or place of practice changes.
Transparent trust
CraftID does not claim that a maker is ‘good’ or globally certified. It shows structured professional information and distinguishes self-declared information, evidence and reviewed claims.
Access through the partner network
As the network develops, CraftID can be used by national and sectoral partners, craft organisations, fairs, education providers and support programmes as a structured professional reference.
Who CraftID is for
For professionals and workshops
Build a portable professional record that is independent of a marketplace, employer or single project. Present skills, practice and evidence without turning the profile into a sales listing.
For institutions and ecosystems
Understand where craft skills are practised, identify regional capabilities and support skills intelligence, vocational pathways, heritage continuity and cross-border cooperation.
Trust model
Trust should be explicit, not implied.
CraftID does not certify a whole person. Review applies to specific claims and the evidence linked to them. Public status language is designed to show exactly what has — and has not — been reviewed.
