Geo-tagged photos for contractor bills and government work
Many departments and clients ask for geo-tagged photos of the work before they release a payment. With Verafii, your site team takes them in the app: each photo carries the date, time, GPS coordinates and place name, and the visit becomes a PDF report with a QR code that whoever checks the bill can scan.

What you get
Photos for every item of work
Name the session after the work order or the running bill, then photograph each item of work as it stands: before, during and after.
Date, time and place on every photo
The date and time with its UTC offset, the GPS coordinates with their accuracy, and the place name when the phone can look it up are stamped on each photo. There is no gallery button, so an old or downloaded photo can’t go in.
One PDF to attach to the bill
One tap makes the report: every photo with its note, time and place, your logo, and who took it on which phone. Print it on A4, or send it on WhatsApp or email.
A QR code anyone can check
Whoever checks the bill scans the QR code. The page shows who took the report, when and roughly where, and whether the PDF they hold is the original, unchanged file.
Fake GPS is flagged
If the phone reports a simulated location, on Android or iPhone, the photo, the report and the verify page say so.
Why a stamp on a photo isn’t proof on its own
Many camera apps print a date and a location on a photo, and some let you set them by hand or pick a photo from the gallery. A stamped photo can also be edited afterwards. So the stamp alone tells whoever checks the bill very little.
A Verafii report adds what a stamp can’t: photos only from the app’s own camera, and a QR code that opens the report’s record on Verafii, outside the PDF. If anything in the PDF is changed, the check says so.
Verafii isn’t approved by any government body. Each department sets its own rules for bill photos, and some ask for their own app or portal, so check what yours accepts.

Questions
- Will my department accept these photos?
- We can’t promise that. Each department sets its own rules, some need their own app or portal, and Verafii isn’t approved by any government body. Show them a sample report and ask what they accept.
- Can a photo be added from the gallery?
- No. Verafii only takes photos through its own camera, and the app never asks for photo-library access.
- Can I print the report and attach it to a paper bill?
- Yes. The PDF is A4, and the QR code still works on paper: whoever checks it scans it with a phone.
- Can the report carry our company name and logo?
- Yes. Your logo is on every photo stamp and report, and on the page that opens from the QR code.
- Does it work without mobile signal?
- Yes. Photos are taken and stamped offline, and the session uploads when the phone is back online.
