Real AuthenticationReviews of realauthentication.com

Excellent service always timely and reliable! If you’re thinking about getting an item checked for its authenticity look no further. Real authentication is the only way to go!

Had a great experience with Real Authentication! It was super easy to submit the information. I also got my results in less than 24 hours. I will definitely be using them again!

Easy to apply for and authenticity came much quicker than I had been led to expect. If I need I will use this site again.

Fast authentication and you know what step it’s in every minute. I wish they would keep me logged in or use my face to login. That part gets old.

Not sure how thorough real authentication is. I had a good first experience a couple of years ago. But Recently, I had a bag authenticated from them come back as counterfeit. I bought this bag from FASHIONPHILE, and purposely didn’t mention it because I didn’t want them to be bias. After they heard I got it from FASHIONPHILE, they said to send additional images including any tags, dust bags, etc. They were going to escalate this to the higher ups and reauthenticate, but I never heard back. TBH, if they were really good at authenticating, they would be going off the bag, not the other items that came with it. I wanted a second authentication just for extra piece of mind. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a good second experience, and will probably never use them again. I wouldn’t recommend real authentication.

I’ve now been burned twice by this company, and both incidents reveal a fundamental lack of expertise and accountability. First, they authenticated a Chanel bag that was not original as represented. They failed to notice that the interior color was never produced with that exterior color—an extremely basic Chanel detail. They also made no disclosure that the bag had been dyed to a rarer (and more expensive) color. Leather Surgeons later caught the issue, and I was able to secure a full refund through the seller—not through this authenticator. Second, I paid extra for Hermès authentication, including dating and valuation, for a Kelly bag. They insisted it was from the 1990s and valued it accordingly, despite the bag having split D-rings, a design feature Hermès did not use in the 1990s. This is not an obscure detail; it’s widely known among anyone with basic Hermès knowledge. If Hermès authentications cost extra, it’s fair to ask what “expertise” that fee is supposedly buying. In both cases, once their mistakes were pointed out, they refused to issue refunds and ultimately stopped responding. If you’re dealing with high-value luxury items, this is not a company you want safeguarding your transactions. Getting it wrong is bad enough—refusing to stand behind their work makes it worse.

Great service, authenticated in time for Xmas and checked by 3 experts.

Easy to create an account. Quick and clear instructions for filing an authentication request. Very clear and understandable pricing. Stuck to the timeline and provided all the feedback I was looking for. Thank you!
