How CRATERNITY’s Private Crater Dedication Works

One location, two kinds of identity

The catalogue provides a source identifier, coordinates, measured diameter and a source release. Your private crater title and recipient name are personal fields attached to the dedication. The title must be unique within CRATERNITY across the Moon and Mars; a person’s name can appear in different dedications.

A completed registration is unique for the selected object inside this register. That rule does not govern other services, official scientific naming or ownership of terrain. The public record keeps its scientific reference and original registration time even when permitted personal details are later amended.

A preview becomes a record only after confirmation

The form lets you inspect a personalised certificate before it is issued. Starting checkout creates a temporary 35-minute hold, which helps prevent two buyers from completing the same selection. The server decides whether confirmation can issue the record; a browser redirect alone is not evidence of payment.

The PDF and verification page have different jobs

Public verification does not have to expose the personal story. If you leave publication off, the record can be checked without displaying the recipient’s name, message or personal date. Contact details are not placed in the public register.

The gift link belongs to the handover

CRATERNITY Reveal is a separate recipient experience. The gift link lets its holder see the dedication and download its certificate, without giving them the buyer’s order controls or contact details. Share it with the intended recipient and keep your own order-access link private.
