6. A computer-implemented method performed by at least one processor, the method comprising: receiving, by the at least one processor, at least one image of a document; determining, by the at least one processor, based on the at least one image, data associated with the document; generating, by the at least one processor, a seal that encodes the data associated with the document, the seal being applicable to a tangible version of the document, wherein the seal includes a near field communication (NFC) tag, and wherein the NFC tag is configured to remove the data from the NFC tag in response to a first scan of the NFC tag; based on a scan of the seal applied to the tangible version of the document, determining, by the at least one processor, the data that is encoded in the seal, wherein the scan of the seal includes receiving a signal emitted from the NFC tag, the signal carrying the data; and employing, by the at least one processor, the data to verify at least one characteristic of the tangible version of the document.
