Confident assistance dog verification across every journey.

The neutral way for aviation, maritime and rideshare operators to confirm a certified assistance dog team at booking, so the status is settled before boarding. No medical or personal data is ever shared.

One standard, every mode

A single verification across air, sea and road.

Pawthority gives transport operators one standards-based way to confirm a certified assistance dog team at booking, with a settled status by boarding, a full audit trail and no exposure to passengers' personal data.

How it works

One check across every mode

1

Offered at booking or boarding

The passenger is offered verification, and a verified status is attached to the journey.

Certified data
2

Checked against the certifying authority

A single-use check confirms current certification and writes a full audit trail.

GDPR-minimised
Pass / No match
3

No record, no refusal

A not-found result routes to your existing assistance process, never to automatic refusal.

Matching is deterministic. Verification is always voluntary and never a condition of access. No personal data leaves the certifying authority's control without authorisation.

Transport sectors

One platform across every mode of transport.

Choose your sector for the detail, the rules it operates under, and how verification fits.

Air

Aviation

Verification at booking and the gate, alongside the government forms you already collect.

Sea

Maritime

Clear assistance dog travel before departure, across every port of call.

Road

Rideshare and Taxi

A fast, trusted confirmation for drivers, with nothing private about the passenger shown.

Standard

EN 17984-6:2024

Every mode runs on the same European standard for assistance dog services.

Safeguard

Minimum data

Every check matches the dog's microchip to its handler using an opaque token, confirming the pairing. No handler identity, medical or disability data is ever revealed.

Audit

Defensible record

An immutable, timestamped entry for every check, across every journey.

What operators gain

One integration, every journey covered

Consistency across modes

The same verification whether the journey is by air, sea or road.

One integration

Connect once and cover aviation, maritime and rideshare operations.

Audit trail

An immutable record for every check, across every mode.

No sensitive data

No access to passengers' medical or disability information.

Non-negotiable principles

Why the result holds across every mode

Voluntary by design

Verification is never a condition of travel. Anyone who declines keeps every existing right of access.

Minimum data

Only a microchip number and an opaque match token cross the connection.

Deterministic result

A clear, auditable match, consistent every time.

Append-only audit log

Every check writes one timestamped, immutable record.
