Washoe County in Nevada has confirmed the issuance of blockchain-based marriage certificates to its citizens as per a program initiated in April 2018.

According to the Reno Gazette-Journal, about 950 couples in the county have received blockchain-based marriage certificates in their emails and smartphones within 24 hours.

Phil Dhingra, Co-Founder of San Francisco-based Titan Seal, has reported that Ethereum blockchain being the underlying platform for digital certificates makes it very secure, along with making the process of certificate issuance much faster.

The county has clarified that wedding licenses are not available online and can be obtained in person from the County Clerk’s office. But, the blockchain-based marriage certificates are made available online through the Recorder’s Office.
