What It Does
Minting is the process of creating a verifiable Digital Product Passport (DPP) for a product batch. Once minted, the passport serves as a permanent, tamper-evident record of the product’s data at the point of issuance.Who It’s For
Brand owners and compliance approvers who need to issue Digital Product Passports for regulatory compliance or supply chain transparency.How It Works
Prerequisites
Before a product can be minted, it must meet the following conditions:- Mint readiness — all required DPP schema fields must be populated (the product shows a “Ready to mint” badge).
- Active commercial status — the product must have a valid commercial status.
- At least one batch — a production batch must be associated with the product.
Preflight Check
Before minting begins, a preflight check evaluates whether the product and batch meet all requirements. The preflight returns:- Pass — the product is eligible for minting.
- Blocked — one or more requirements are unmet, with specific blocking reasons listed.
Batch Minting
Minting is scoped to a product batch. Each batch can be minted independently, creating a passport tied to that specific production run.Scope Types
MintID supports different traceability modes that determine the granularity of passport issuance:| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| SKU | One passport per product SKU |
| Batch | One passport per production batch |
| Serial | One passport per individual unit (requires serial numbers) |
Minting is currently in active development. The full minting workflow — including passport issuance, signing, and public verification — will be documented as features reach general availability.
Limits & Notes
- Minting requires admin or owner role.
- Preflight checks are deterministic and can be re-run at any time.
- Idempotency is supported: duplicate mint requests for the same batch return the existing job.

What is a Digital Product Passport?
A DPP is a structured data record that accompanies a product through its lifecycle. It can include composition, origin, compliance, and sustainability information as defined by your industry’s regulatory framework.
Can I mint without a GTIN?
Can I mint without a GTIN?
The minting preflight checks required fields based on your brand’s DPP schema. Whether a GTIN is required depends on your schema configuration.
What happens after minting?
What happens after minting?
The minted passport is sealed and associated with the product batch. The product’s scan URL (via the resolver) can then direct to the passport data.
