1. A seal application device comprising: a scanner; an applicator; at least one processor; and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: receiving at least one image of a document, the at least one image generated by the scanner; determining, based on the at least one image, data associated with the document; instructing the applicator to generate 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 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 the data to verify at least one characteristic of the tangible version of the document.
