Sub-Decree No. 52 on the Implementation of Document Verification Platform – verify.gov.kh

Verify.gov.kh is a government platform developed by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications ("MPTC") for the purpose of, among others, verifying the authenticity of documents that are embedded with Standard QR Codes developed by MPTC using blockchain technology.


Ministries, governmental institutions, state-owned enterprises, and private entities that wish to use Standard QR Codes on their documents can submit an online application form to MPTC by providing the following information: (i) the names and number of documents to be embedded with QR Code, (ii) samples of such documents, and (iii) the name and contact of the applicant. The application fee and cost in relation therewith shall be determined under a separate regulation.


All verification of documents through the verify.gov.kh platform is free of charge, and a copy of the document embedded with the Standard QR Code is not required to be legalised in paper form.
