The Digital Passport

Confidence · Transparency · Traceability

In 2025 S.T. Dupont introduced its Digital Passport, secured by blockchain technology. Each passport is unique to a single piece and holds its own information — serial number, technical user manual and ownership history — and can be passed on to future owners.

What you receive

One certificate, three benefits

Proven authenticity

A meticulously secured, tamper-proof certificate that protects your piece against counterfeiting and attests to its origin.

Six extra months of warranty

Activating extends the international warranty by six months — two and a half years in total. Without activation the warranty remains two years.

Transferable

Gift or resell your piece together with its passport: the ownership history follows the object and protects its value on the secondary market.

Eligibility

Is your piece eligible?

Whether your piece was purchased online, in a boutique or from an authorized partner, it is eligible if it meets all four conditions below.

Please note: some ranges are currently excluded — notably limited editions / Haute Création and leather goods. Entering your serial number on the platform automatically tells you whether the piece is eligible.

Two routes

Two ways to create your passport

Option 01

Go to certification.st-dupont.com, or to the S.T. Dupont website under S.T. Dupont › Services › Digital Passport › Traceability, then choose “Request your digital passport”.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which attachments are mandatory to create or validate a certificate?
The only mandatory attachment is the proof of purchase (invoice or receipt), showing:
  • the purchase date;
  • the point of sale / reseller name (store or website).
Is the purchase date mandatory?
Yes. The purchase date must be provided and must be consistent with the proof of purchase.
How do I know if my product is eligible?
By entering the required information — the serial number in particular — on the platform: it automatically indicates whether the product is eligible or not. certification.st-dupont.com
Why was my certificate rejected?
The most common reasons are:
  • missing Digital Passport card: the product is not eligible;
  • proof of purchase missing, unreadable or incomplete (missing date or point of sale);
  • purchase date not provided or inconsistent with the proof of purchase;
  • purchased before 1 April 2025: the product is not eligible.
I purchased after 1 April 2025, but my certificate was rejected — why?
The rejection may be due to an incomplete or unreadable proof of purchase, or a missing purchase date. Please check your invoice and the information entered.
How long does certificate validation take?
Validation depends on the checks performed. You will be notified on the platform as soon as the certificate is validated (or rejected).
Does the Digital Passport really provide an extra six months of warranty?
Yes. The product comes with a standard warranty card (2 years) and a “Digital Passport” card. By scanning the QR code and activating the Digital Passport, you automatically receive a six-month extension, for a total of 2 years and 6 months.
If I activate my Digital Passport late, from which date is the warranty calculated?
The warranty is calculated from the purchase date, not from the Digital Passport activation date.
What should I do if I no longer have the invoice or receipt?
Ask your point of sale for a duplicate. Without proof of purchase your Digital Passport cannot be validated. If your piece was bought from El Laguito Cigars, email us at info@ellaguitocigars.ca and we will resend your invoice.
Can I register several products with the same account?
Yes, as many as you like, provided they are eligible and you have a proof of purchase for each one.
What if the information entered does not match the invoice?
The request will be rejected. You can submit it again with the correct information (purchase date, point of sale, and so on).
Can I activate the Digital Passport for a second-hand product?
Yes, but only if the previous owner has transferred the certificate to you via the platform. Without a prior transfer, activation is not possible — see the Transfer section above.
What if I don’t have the “Digital Passport” card in my packaging?
Without the Digital Passport card, the product is considered not eligible.
Is Digital Passport activation mandatory?
No, but it is recommended in order to benefit from the six-month warranty extension.
Can I lock my Digital Passport in case of theft or loss?
Yes. Go to Services › Lock my digital passport, choose the reason (Loss / Theft / Other) and confirm with “Validate” — see the Loss or theft section above.
