Public Registers
Public register software people can trust
Your public register is often the only part of your scheme the public ever sees. If it is slow, out of date or hard to search, people stop trusting it, and it becomes easier for anyone to claim a status they do not hold. 16i builds registers that are accurate the moment something changes and simple enough for anyone to use.
What people can check
Find a registered business by location, postcode or type of work
Check an individual by name and ID card number
Verify a certificate using its reference or a QR code
Check a tag on a device and see whether its inspection is current
What a public register has to get right
Always up to date
The register reads directly from the same records your team works on. When a registration lapses, a scope changes or a business is suspended, the public view changes at the same moment. There is no export to remember and no separate website to update.
Hard to fake
When a scheme's mark carries weight, some people will claim it falsely. A quick, reliable check is the simplest defence: verification becomes a ten-second job on a phone, and ID cards and certificates can carry a QR code that opens the live record.
Built for everyone who uses it
The public: plain language, mobile first and accessible
Councils, clients and specifiers: detailed results and certificate checks for procurement
Your members: a public profile they can link to from their own websites
Your team: control over exactly what is shown and what stays private
Part of a complete platform
The register sits on top of the full scheme platform: registrations, competence, inspections, certificates and payments. See platforms for certification and inspection schemes.
Our work with PIPA
On PIPA's platform, every tag and report generated by inspectors can be viewed by anyone on the scheme's website. That transparency is a core part of why operators and the public trust the scheme.

Frequently asked questions
Can the register sit on our existing website?
Yes. The search can sit on your own website, in your branding, while the data comes from the platform.
Can we control what personal information is shown?
Yes. You decide which details are public for businesses and individuals, in line with your privacy policy and your members' consent.
Can members link to their own entry?
Yes. Each member can have a permanent profile link to use on their website, quotes and vehicles.
Does it work with QR codes?
Yes. Certificates, tags and ID cards can carry a QR code that opens the live record.
