Now keep it safe: three things
- Keep your photos and files unedited. The receipt only matches the originals. Put them in an album such as “My records”.
- Save this receipt to your camera roll.
Keep the receipt file too. The image is a handy copy; checking needs the file.
- Email it to yourself.Email it to myself

How to keep notes that hold up
Write notes as soon as you can. Keep the original account rather than replacing it later; the venue decides what weight it gets.
- Write it down straight away, on paper or in the box on a step.
- Put the date, time and place at the top, and who you spoke to.
- Use their words where you can; separate what you saw from what you were told.
- Sign or initial a paper note, photograph it and add the photo.
- Never edit an old note. Add a new dated entry when something changes. A device save time is not independent time evidence or proof of event order.

Real cases: why records made at the time matter.
Real cases where dated records mattered. We don’t claim a time receipt would have changed the result.
New York, USA · 2011
Keep full lift service records before an accident
A hurt lift rider challenged a claim that the lift had been checked and kept safe. The firm gave only part of a work log, and an earlier city check noted a fault. The appeal court reopened the case for the rider.

Recent lift checks can help resolve fault claims
A person hurt by a lift door sued the service firm. Recent checks had shown no fault, and the appeal court kept the firm's win before trial. It also refused to punish the firm for the later door change.

Give the full run of lift service tickets
A hurt lift rider sought the service history, but the firm gave only four months of tickets. The court required a full year and punished the firm for withholding records. The appeal court kept both that penalty and the rider's jury win.

Proves / Doesn’t prove
Proves
A completed time receipt shows that the exact selected file existed by the independently witnessed time. You can check whether a later copy has the same bytes. It does not establish creation time, authorship, identity, event order, location or the truth of the contents.
Doesn’t prove
It does not prove who was in the machine room, that the inspector or mechanic was physically there, that the tests were done or passed, or that the elevator is safe; a regulator or court decides what counts.
This cannot establish presence, a completed test, a safe elevator or a valid inspection.
These are the bounds of a completed proof. The local tester does not establish any time. The chosen court, scheme or regulator decides what to accept.
Questions, answered plainly.
Your file stays on your device. During normal receipt creation, your device sends a randomized code made from its fingerprint, plus encrypted recovery data. It doesn't send the plain fingerprint or the random value that opens the code. Keep the original file and the complete receipt for checking. Privacy Policy.
Does a time receipt replace the official elevator inspection certificate?
No. The certificate or permit comes from the jurisdiction's inspector or program. A time receipt only shows your own visit records existed unchanged by a date.
Do my files get uploaded?
Your file stays on your device. During normal receipt creation, your device sends a randomized code made from its fingerprint, plus encrypted recovery data. It doesn't send the plain fingerprint or the random value that opens the code. Keep the original file and the complete receipt for checking.
Can this show a mechanic or inspector was physically in the machine room?
Not by itself. It shows the files existed by a time. Adding a venue code, staff confirmation or two-person co-sign is a separate record of presence and is not the same as proof.
What should an elevator maintenance log include?
Check the local inspection program and your contract for required fields.
Will a court or inspector accept this?
That is for them to decide. Courts in elevator injury cases have weighed dated maintenance and service records heavily, so having dated records is useful, but acceptance of a receipt itself is not guaranteed.

Context for this answerWhat if the contractor says it has no records of the visit?
In one New York case the contractor said it had no work orders or maintenance records for the incident date, and the court let the injured person's case go forward. Owners who keep their own dated copies are better placed.
